5About
Chef Michael
Chef Michael brings with him the experiences of almost 47 years in the food service industry beginning with his first job at age 16 at a neighborhood pizza parlor. Born in Phoenix, Arizona and now a long-term resident of Las Vegas, Nevada, Chef Michael’s earliest culinary memories are of baking and decorating holiday cookies with his mother using his great grandfather’s recipes. In 2005, he followed in the footsteps of his great grandfather and his step grandfather when he graduated with dual Associates of Science degrees in Culinary Arts and Pastry Arts. During this time, he also launched his own private chef and catering business, That Fat Chef.
Following graduation, Chef Michael served as the Temple Chef at Temple Beth Sholom where he planned, cooked, and served student meals in a kosher kitchen, as well as providing catering services for a wide variety of Temple functions. Later as part of Sage Dining Services, he served as Food Service Director at the prestigious Dr. Miriam and Sheldon G. Adelson Educational Campus. During his tenure at the Adelson campus, Chef Michael was honored to serve the Israeli Prime Minister while he was visiting Las Vegas. As Corporate Executive Chef, Chef Michael toured the Western and Southern regions of the United States with New York based Terra Velo Tours, a glamping group. Chef Michael also served as private chef for Jackie Jackson of the Jackson 5 and his wife and family.
In his spare time, Chef Michael is an avid book collector. He has a collection of over 2,000 cookbooks and is in possession of one of the largest private collections of kosher cookbooks in the United States and is currently writing his own kosher cookbook.
Chef’s philosophy is that the best foods are prepared fresh and in season, and he can be found foraging local Farmers’ Markets for the freshest local products available.
