Michael Harris understands that food is more than just a meal; it is a service to the community. Since graduating from culinary school in 2006, Michael has navigated nearly every facet of the food service industry. His journey has taken him through the fast-paced world of casinos, the high-stakes environments of hospitals and correctional facilities, and the compassionate care of assisted living centers. He has served as a Chef, General Manager, and Consultant, eventually finding his calling as a Nutrition Director and Child Nutrition Specialist for a K-12 school district. A dual powerhouse of talent, Michael is both a Certified Master Pizza Chef and a Certified Dietary Manager. This unique combination of artisan craft and nutritional science allows him to create recipes that are as healthy as they are delicious.
