Inside Wildweed’s Michelin-star-studded dinner event

On Monday, Wildweed in Over-the-Rhine hosted a special one-night-only collaboration event between the restaurant’s chef/owner David Jackman and Gus Stieffenhofer-Brandson, head chef of the Michelin-starred Canadian restaurant Published on Main. The special collaboration came about because Jackman and Stieffenhofer-Brandson grew up near each other in Winnipeg, Manitoba; both eventually took their culinary talents to the West Coast later in their career, where they often collaborated together. Monday was the first time the two had collaborated inside Wildweed, and the restaurant’s first collaboration event since March 2025. While I wasn’t able to snag a spot at the restaurant’s fabled Chef’s Counter for the night (reservations filled up immediately, even before I could write about it), I was able to sit in the dining room to experience at least a portion of what the two chefs had cooked up. The result was nothing short of spectacular.
