A Top Chef Homecoming in Door County

A Top Chef alum returns home to cook the Door County food that shaped her. In this episode of Wisconsin Foodie, Luke travels to Door County with Kat Turner, whose cooking career was rooted in the peninsula long before national attention followed. Drawing inspiration from orchards, smokehouses, fisheries, and small producers across Door County, Kat builds a dinner that reflects memory, seasonality, and place. From local fish and orchard fruit to foraged elements and seasonal Midwestern ingredients, each dish becomes a personal expression of how regional food and lived experience shape modern Midwest cooking. This episode explores Door County food culture through the lens of a chef coming full circle, highlighting the farmers, makers, and landscapes that continue to influence Kat’s work today. It’s a story about home, craft, and why some of the most meaningful meals in the Midwest happen far from the spotlight. This episode is for anyone interested in chef-driven cooking, seasonal food, regional cuisine, and the people behind great meals.
