Mike Katz is the head chef and owner of Katz Craft BBQ, based in Calabasas, California.
Mike apprenticed at—and was one of the early investors in—Leroy and Lewis in Austin, the country’s first Michelin-starred barbecue restaurant, renowned for its barbecue menu and creative sides.
His eclectic approach to food draws inspiration from his mother, Simone, who was a genius in the kitchen.
