“Big Mike” is a business man and community servant who wears many hats. He is a husband, father, restaurateur, city councilman, real estate agent, and church deacon. Inspired at an early age by his mother’s ability to work magic in kitchen, she was able to produce delicious, filling meals seemingly from nothing. Mike’s restaurant experience began at 12 years old, working at local establishments in Myrtle Beach. The chefs noticed that he displayed a keen interest in helping them plan and prepare meals. With a fascination for learning more and natural talent in the kitchen, he was mentored by skilled chefs, which allowed him to develop an appreciation for the craft.
