Autumn is here! Delicioustreats, such as taffy apples andeverything pumpkin spiced, are allaround us!
What a perfect time tointroduce our new Chef Manager,Michael Sahade. Michael was theChef Manager at a largeindependent living facility for fouryears. His goal here at Belmont isto provide a delicious experiencein our dining room.
Michael was born inRutherford, New Jersey, but grewup in Seattle Washington. He hasone sister who is two yearsyounger than him. Her name isDaniela; she is a project managerfor a commercial real estatecompany, and currently lives inNew York City.
Michael experienced the desireto cook and create great foodwhen he was very young, abouteight years old. His grandmotherwas born in Rome, Italy, and shewas one of his first teachers.Michael’s father’s family is fromArgentina although the onlyArgentinean dish that he makes isempanadas.
Michael really enjoys workingwith fresh seafood. Because hegrew up in Seattle there werealways fresh crabs, mussels,salmon, razor clams and halibut.Mmmm ... all that great seafood,pretty much in his backyard.
Michael then traveled clear
across the country to ProvidenceRhode Island. He attendedJohnson and Wales University, anexcellent culinary school. He methis wife Kimberly there; she alsohas a culinary degree. Currently,she is a General Manager forMacy’s in Water Tower Place onMichigan Avenue. (However, shenow has another job, a newmom!)
Michael‘s hobbies includegolfing, fishing, and travelling. Heis also a football fan. Theimportant question, what footballteam does he root for? Michael isloyal to the Seattle Seahawks butcan’t help but be a Bears Fanas well.
However, Michael’s newest andfavorite hobby is his first child, ason named William. William wasborn on July 29, 2015. Michaeland Kimberly have an excitingyear ahead; we welcome all threeof them to the Belmont Villagefamily.
