Daxton Hotel names new executive chef

Birmingham’s Daxton Hotel has announced the promotion of Rece Hogerheide to executive chef. A native Michigander, Chef Hogerheide strongly advocates for the use of locally sourced, seasonal ingredients and has spent the past few years further sharpening his skills in niche areas such as butchery and fermentation. Playing a critical role in the opening of Madam, Hogerheide masterfully marries the worldly influences of fine dining with a rustic New American feel to create a unique offering for the Detroit metro area market. “My goal is to make Daxton Hotel and Madam a regular choice amongst locals and visitors alike,” said Hogerheide. “We want to be known for our impeccable cuisine driven by an experience that brings a new level of excitement to the farm-to-table concept through new flavors and methods.” Prior to his work at Daxton Hotel, Hogerheide held positions at local Michigan restaurants such as Gather and is also one of the founding chefs of Felony Provisions (known for its fermentation, butchery, cheesemaking and charcuterie) which received local acclaim after members of the group were invited to cook alongside Chef Danielle Leoni at the James Beard Award Gala in May of 2019 in Chicago. 298 S.
