"We spend our lives cooking because we love food ... So when someone cooks for us, it's incredibly special. If you know a chef, cook for them. Don't feel intimidated - we really do love it.”

We’re couldn't be more proud to see our Chef Michael featured in the August/September edition of SLO LIFE Magazine, out now! ❤️

From learning under talented chefs to building his craft through years of hands-on experience, Michael’s culinary journey is rooted in passion, family, and a lifelong love of food. His grandmother’s recipes, his family, and the people he’s had the privilege of learning from all continue to inspire what comes out of our kitchens at Luna Red and Novo.

This feature offers a little glimpse into the inspiration & story behind the food we get to share with you every day.

Pick up a copy of SLO LIFE Magazine or visit their website to read the full story on Chef Michael.
