Cooking with Atrisco Heritage Academy
Chef Mike is pleased to be the Chef Mentor for the Atrisco Heritage Academy High School Culinary Team. In 2019 Chef Danielle Young lead the team to be awarded second-place overall in state competition. Going into the third year of mentorship, they will be leading two teams to state competition looking for a strong repeat performance.

With help from students of the Atrisco Heritage and their Instructing Chef Danielle Young, Chef Mike brought home the Judge's Choice Win against stiff competition and award-winning chefs by presenting a local harvest plate featuring spice-rubbed tenderloin, Corrales pumpkin butter, Santa Fe greens, and a Chimayo corn hash.
