Michael Schwartz Biography

Michael Schwartz is the face of the South Florida restaurant industry and a nationally recognized celebrity chef. Since his flagship Michael's Genuine Food & Drink first opened in Miami's Design District in 2007 locals and tourists alike have come to embrace and crave its refreshing combination of laid-back bistro atmosphere and straightforward food emphasizing fresh local ingredients. Honored with the prestigious James Beard Foundation Award for Best Chef: South in 2010 Schwartz is recognized by his peers and the diners that flock to his restaurants for his commitment to community and responsible seasonal food sourcing. According to the chef the secret to good food is... good food. Menus change daily because they start with what s in season and arriving on the doorstep from nearby farmers fishermen and ranchers. From there it s about letting the ingredients speak for themselves when they hit the table from house-cured heritage meats and homemade seasonal fruit jams to wood-fired whole local fish and colorful salads. Branching out from this straightforward approach celebrating fresh simple and pure ingredients in season Michael has since successfully developed complementary concepts focusing on great service and delicious food with a genuine culture embraced by employees and guests alike.
