Next weekend on WGN America: The dense lake fog meant a challenging low-ceiling landing into Charlevoix, Mich., for our Sky*Dives food-hunting SWAT team, but the threefold food payoff made it all worthwhile. First, to Stafford’s Weathervane Restaurant for very fresh planked whitefish and Great Lakes chowder — like clam chowder but with local fish. Then on to a relic from the ’50s at Juilleret’s for old-style homemade desserts, including a knockout fried maple bun. Finally, a stop at the John Cross Fisheries, the decades-old smokehouse for whole whitefish, trout and a whole lot of Northern Michigan food magic. Visit wgnamerica.com.
