Detroit Bar Misses James Beard Award, Leaving MI Without Any Winners
Chartreuse Kitchen and Cocktails is best known for its farm-to-table American cuisine. It has earned numerous accolades, including Yelp’s No. 1 Detroit restaurant in 2017 and 2018.
Freya, known for its prix fixe tasting menus typically served with wine, has also earned high praise, including a spot in the New York Times’ most exciting restaurants list.
The 20 chefs will headline events in their hometowns as part of the foundation’s Taste America culinary tour, which begins Sept. 16 in New Orleans and continues in cities across the country through March 2027.
The foundation said the chefs were selected not only for culinary talent but also for their work beyond the kitchen, including efforts such as supporting sustainable agriculture, investing in restaurant teams, elevating quality ingredients and advocating for a stronger food system.
Chefs in Houston, New York, Detroit, Washington, Philadelphia, Chicago, San Francisco, Seattle, Atlanta, Miami, Phoenix, Los Angeles and New Orleans are among the 20 to watch.
A Westland man has been charged with felony child porn offenses after an anonymous tipster alerted authorities to his alleged behavior.
The FBI investigated Peter Caleb-Anthony Qaoud, who was born in 1996, after receiving an anonymous complaint in May, alleging that he was threatening and blackmailing people, including minors, on Snapchat and other social media apps.
The investigation showed that, in February, Qaoud had a conversation with a 16-year-old girl on Instagram, in which he requested and received explicit content, according to the complaint, filed Monday in Detroit’s federal court.
Agents obtained Qaoud’s phone number and used that to find his home address in Westland, the complaint said.
Online court records indicate that Qaoud appeared in court Monday before Magistrate Judge Kimberly G. Altman on charges including production of child pornography, receipt of child pornography and possession of child pornography.
He’s scheduled to return to court Wednesday for a detention hearing.
Production of child pornography, the most serious charge against him, is punishable by up to 30 years in prison.
Court records do not list an attorney for Qaoud.

Michigan State Police say a kayaker who went missing on White River northeast of Montague and Whitehall on Sunday, June 14, has been located safe, after a three-day search.
The man, Justin Wolfiss, 44, entered the river in a kayak at Sischo Bayou around 1:30 p.m. on Sunday with a friend, but did not arrive with his friend at the end point of their trip.
Wolfiss was located safe near Pines Point, officials announced on Tuesday, June 16.
He is currently being medically evaluated, officials say.
Wolfiss and his friend were traveling downstream toward the Happy Mohawk Canoe Livery, near Diamond Point, when they were separated early in the 3- to 4-hour trip, police said.
The friend, police said, waited several hours for Wolfiss to arrive after reaching Diamond Point around 7 p.m.
“The Michigan State Police would like to thank Blue Lake Township Fire Department, Hesperia Fire Department, the Michigan Department of Natural Resources, MSP Aviation, MSP K-9, partnering agencies, volunteers, and members of the public who assisted in the search effort and shared information.”
