Join us for the next installment of Ann Delisi’s Essential Cooking at Oak & Reel on Wednesday, May 29th at 7PM. Chef and Owner Jared Gadbaw will prepare a 5-course meal with a special wine pairing for guests to enjoy. Plus, Nick Austin (The Metro, former host of Soul Saturday) will be spinning the tunes!
Despite major challenges due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Chef/Owner Jared Gadbaw and his wife Abby opened Oak & Reel in September 2020, bringing fresh, seafood-focused Italian fare to East Grand Blvd and the Milwaukee Junction neighborhood. HOUR Detroit named it Restaurant of the Year in 2022, and on May 29th, Chef Jared and team will generously open their doors to WDET listeners for a private showcase of their culinary skills and hospitality.
In November 2023, Chef Jared sat down with WDET’s Ann Delisi and Essential Cooking co-host Chef James Rigato for a conversation delving into the chapters of his culinary expedition, his knowledge of the New York and Detroit food scenes, and testing the boundaries of the Midwestern palate. You can listen to that episode of Ann Delisi’s Essential Cooking here.
