Have something to say about Bay Fortune?
Tell us, and we'll tell the world!
New York-born Michael Dixon Smith cooked his way around the world and in 1992 settled on PEI, bringing international attention to The Inn at Bay Fortune which rapidly became one of the country's top dining spots.
In 1998 his first cookbook, Open Kitchen: A Chef's Day at The Inn at Bay Fortune was published and won the bronze medal Cuisine Canada Cookbook Award. The same year the TV show The Inn Chef started on the Life Network.
Four years later the culinary adventure series Chef at Large debuted and became the highest-rated Canadian cooking show on Food Network Canada and is still being shown around the world in more than 100 countries.
That show was followed by Chef at Home and then Chef Abroad. Between times he published two more cookbooks to wide acclaim: The Inn Chef and Chef at Home.
He graduated from New York's Culinary Institute of America in New York and honed his skills in restaurants in South America, the Caribbean and across North America. Smith is 6'-7" (2.01 m) tall and likes to refer to himself as "The World's Tallest Chef."
