Once upon a time, long long ago, before there was a food network, there was a channel called Life. And on that channel, was a little show called “The Inn Chef” featuring former US chef now a proud PEI resident, Chef Michael Smith. I have been a fan since that show.
Now he owns the Inn at Bay Fortune, and it has long been a dream to stay at his inn and eat in his in house restaurant.
Next week, in the little town I live in, we are celebrating Canada’s Food Day with the second annual Longest BBQ. It sounded fun, but not something I planned to attend. UNTIL I saw that Michael Smith will be there, shucking oysters, doing photos and autographs. I managed to fine pd a barely used copy of his Inn Chef book on Amazon, and will be getting it signed.
It isn’t staying at his Inn, but it IS getting to meet him!!

I saw he was doing that, that's awesome that you're going! I loved all his shows, so did my mom.
Last fall my mom, sister and I were in PEI. We went to the Inn at Bay Fortune. The man at the front desk was very nice and said we were wlecome to walk around, back to the gardens, where ever. We was Chef Michael but he was in a hurry going from one place to another.

I've seen him do a cooking demo many years ago at the Calgary Stampede! He's so great!
Have fun!!!

Enjoy every second of your stay. Not really a stay -it's 5 minutes from my house lol. But staying at his Inn one day is still on the list!

My in-laws live near his place in PEI and while I have not gone I know people who have attended his feasts and retreats and were amazed. I hope your event is awesome and that someday you get to PEI to check out his offerings there.
