This episode of Eat Your Heartland Out spotlights chief stewards who are upping the food game aboard Great Lakes freighters. We meet two chefs who combine culinary creativity with a personal touch to create tasty menus for hard working freighter crews.

First up is Catherine Schmuck, a Canadian restaurateur and cookbook author who left restaurant life behind to be a galley steward. Then we talk with Matt Dillinger, the chief steward on M/V Mark W. Barker. Classically trained with a culinary degree, Matt enjoys seeing the crew onboard get out of their comfort zone and try new food.
