Bluefin Bay on Lake Superior has been hosting Food & Wine Lovers events for more than 25 years, in the Spring and the Fall. Each Food & Wine Lovers Weekend includes special culinary events focusing on food and wine. Not only do you get a spectacular food and wine experience that is unique each time, but all of our events are set against the backdrop of breathtaking Lake Superior.
For over 25 years, Kara Super-Peterson has been a chef, private chef, recipe creator, developer and forager in Breezy Point , MN. She graduated with her culinary arts degree and led her first job at the Historic Grand View Lodge working as a chef at the fine dining establishment, Sherwood Forest. From there she dipped into the catering side of things and worked downtown Minneapolis working for the company Bon Appetit for 2 years. Her love for the outdoors brought her back up to the Brainerd Lakes Area. Her passion for food goes far beyond the plate — each dish she creates tells a story, comes straight from the heart, and transforms an evening into more than just a meal. It's not simply fabulous food — it’s a meaningful connection and an unforgettable experience.
In addition to her private chef experiences, Kara is an accomplished recipe developer, creating unique and signature recipes for area lodges, resorts, and restaurants throughout Northern Minnesota. Her collaborative spirit has led her to work closely with many resorts including Borderland Lodge, Gunflint Lodge and Bluefin Bay.
Other businesses she has created fun sharable recipes for and can be seen on her Instagram include:
Northern Waters Smokehaus, Rice Creek Hunting Lodge, Fisherman's Daughter, Cook County Co - op, Vikre Distillery and many more.
It's about Fresh, local, creative and community. Her approach to the culinary world raises up locally sourced foods that offer a creative spin and draw people together. It’s intentional and enjoyable.
“Being a chef allows me to create moments. It allows me to bring people together. It allows me to turn ingredients into something that makes someone pause, smile, and feel at home.”
