LUMMI ISLAND – The Willows Inn on Lummi Island has made the New York Times’  “10 Restaurants Worth a Plane Ride in 2011.” The article stated, “…it is about to become a destination restaurant, thanks to its new chef, Blaine Wetzel. The 24-year-old, formerly the protégé of Rene Redzepi at Noma, the Copenhagen restaurant that was ranked the “best restaurant in the world” for 2010 by S. Pellegrino, took over the kitchen at Willows last year.” The restaurant reopens in February.
