About Co-Owner Chef Michael Lalewicz

Chef Michael Lalewicz cooking roots germinate from suburban Detroit where his youth was filled with sights, tastes and scents of Polish, German, Jewish, Greek and Italian ethnic foods. The Midwest farmers taught Michael much about wild game recipes. Grandmothers who emigrated from the Deep South taught Michael Southern and soul food recipes. His formal cooking life started in his neighborhood pizzeria.
