Meet Mike

Meet Mike

Born and raised in Upper Darby, Pennsylvania; Michael has always had love for culinary arts. It all started when he would attend dinner at his friends’ houses as a young kid. That is where he was given the opportunity to experience dishes from many different cultures, which made his taste buds and love blossom into something beautiful.

Shortly after studying culinary arts at Johnson & Wales University he begin his career at John Harvard’s. He went on to be the head chef at many establishments, including Tap24, a local microbrewery that specializes in unique food and beer. An annual dining award from County Lines Magazine awarded Tap24 ‘Best of the Best’ to the restaurant while Michael was the head chef in 2018! Although being a head chef at restaurants was his ultimate goal, having his daughter, Lily, by his side to help prepare, cook and, of course, taste test all the culinary magic that was created at home just felt right. That is when ThatFoodBul began!

The inspiration

Michael strives each day to be the best version of himself. To be a leader and continue to educate himself and grow as a new entrepreneur. His mindset is solely inspired by his children. A great stay at home father and a great chef all in one!

Michaels ambition, creativity and hard working mentality is thanks to the inspiration he has from his children. Watching the pure bliss and happiness on their faces each day is what keeps him motivated to being the best father, entrepreneur and husband he can.

Outside of the kitchen, Michael takes pride in helping his community as a volunteer firefighter. You can also find him watching Philly sports from both home and from the Lincoln Financial Field where he works part time. Although volunteering and working part time are important, soaking up all the love and joy from his wife and three kids is where he finds peace.
