Passion, er uh....more like obsession for excellent food plus his love of people and travel created the perfect fit for food show host with Ten Toe TV. It means finding not great food, but the best food and dining experience for traveller's and locals alike. From the Middle East to South America and the South Pacific, these journeys have sharpened his palate for great food finds (and a lot of new friends to boot!) He has worked in the food business off and on throughout his life, most recently in launching online food store Divine Food Shop.com. He has also worked in restaurants, gourmet eateries and catering companies in Northern and Southern California. Michael’s love for learning about food started in the kitchen of his Hungarian grandmother and continued with studies abroad in Spain and Italy, as well as back home at the California Culinary Academy in San Francisco.

Recent writing assignments for food websites, including Sally’s Place and appearances on TV including the PBS show Check Please Bay Area have also helped Michael gain more insight and knowledge of the restaurant and food world. When needed, Michael will sit down and plan your stay in San Francisco, including a day by day breakfast, lunch and dinner schedule...but just be careful, he may show up at one of your meals.
