Stateside's conversation with cannabis chef Gigi Diaz
Cannabis, it turns out, is not just for smoking.
Since its legalization for both medical and recreational purposes, marijuana has been making its way into kitchens across Michigan, including the kitchen of Gigi Diaz.
Diaz has been cooking professionally for years and recently, she’s started making cannabis-infused meals. She even won Best Chef at the 2017 High Times Michigan Cannabis Cup. Her business, Cannabis Concepts, does regular pop-ups all around Detroit.
“It’s really come a long way since your average pot brownie,” Diaz said.
