A native of the Pacific Northwest, chef Blaine Wetzel saw Lummi Island, with fewer than 1,000 residents, as the perfect vehicle for his brand of hyperlocalism: a culinary celebration of what is good and nearby and flavourful. Now, a reservation at The Willows Inn is highly sought-after, as the smokehouse, the fishermen, and the farmer yield the ingredients for unforgettable meals, reflecting the foggy, sea-salty coast that surrounds the island.
