Chef Michael Mckenna

Get to know me better

Endlessly curious, always hungry, and passionate about hospitality

Spent 15 years between front and back of house at America's top restaurants and catering businesses. Seeking knowledge from, notably, Jose Andres, Kristen Kish, Mike Lata, Jason Stanhope, Brian Malarkey, Fermine Nunez, Marc Collins, and Kevin Fink. I can design any meal or event from start to finish with a few choice questions. I looking forward to our exchange.

More about me

For me, cooking is...

and always will be, my passion. So while I enjoy cooking for myself, I prefer the experience of sharing.

I learned to cook at...

Zaytinya, Arlo Grey, FIG, Searsucker, Suerte, Circa 1886, and Emmer & Rye notably. The others were in St. Croix USVI.

A cooking secret...

Have fun. No body likes a grumpy Chef anymore. Music plays a big role in that, amongst other secrets I am looking forward to sharing.
