Mike R.

Business Owner

Owner/Executive ChefEver since Michael was a young man he was at the stove cooking. He loved all kinds of food, but landing a job in his uncle's kitchen was the catalyst that drove his passion for culinary arts through the roof.After graduation from Le Cordon Bleu, Michael worked in some of the most innovative restaurants in Boston, steadily climbing the ladder of the culinary world. He was learning from the best Chef that Boston had to offer, but since the birth of his daughter, and the fact he was raising her on his own, Michael decided to risk leaving Boston and move to Asheville to be closer to his family. Shortly after arriving in Asheville he started working at the Blackbird. Due to his hard work and love for food, he quickly achieved the prestigious rank of Executive Chef. At the Blackbird, Michael has found a home where he can create works of art that people from all ages can enjoy.In March 2019, the time came for the former owners to transition into other opportunities.
