About
I began my cooking career in the Italian restaurants of Occidental in Western Sonoma County. Over the years, I developed my repertoire to include Italian, French, Mediterranean, Japanese, Szechuan Chinese and regional American cooking styles, BBQ is a specialty.
I have worked under the tutelage of many fine chefs, most notably Robert Buschbaum of European Culinary Management Inc. and Chef Louis Perrotte from the Brittany Region of France. I was chef/proprietor of a well-known restaurant on Tomales Bay in West Marin called Barnaby's by the Bay for 20 years. Personal customized menus are a specialty.
I am Serv-Safe certified and adept at developing excellent meals to suit your every need. References are available upon request. Thank you for your consideration.

Michael just recently did the food for my wedding with a guest count of about 125 guests. He was the only caterer that I was able to find that almost worked as a wedding coordinator. Michael kept extremely great communication during the whole wedding planning process and always remained extremely detail oriented. The food was incredible and we didn't talk to anyone that didn't like what Michael served. His employees were also just as great and attentitive, super sweet people. I would recommend Michael to anyone for any type of event. Whether it be big or small. I couldn't be more happy with how everything turned out.
