About Chef/Owner 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.
The History of the DEPOT Restaurant
Seaview’s popularity as a vacation site began in the 1870’s when families would arrive by horseback, wagon, stagecoach and steamer to camp in the Willows, north of Cape Disappointment. The transition of Seaview from campground to resort is credited to Jonathon L. Stout who is believed to have come to the Peninsula as a barrel maker from Ohio in 1859. He married Ann Elizabeth Gearhart, daughter of Oregon’s Phillip Gearhart in 1860.
