Meet the Chef

Sean Hale, originally from South Haven Michigan, started honing his passion for cooking at an early age at home with family. With over 35 years of experience, he has cooked all over the country and the Caribbean; from ski and golf resorts, Ritz Carltons in New Orleans and St. Thomas, to loads of independent and boutique restaurants, all while opening his own restaurants and bars along the way. 

After many years of being away from home, he is happy to bring what he has learned and loved back to his family farm in Bloomingdale Michigan. 

Classically trained at the French Culinary Institute in New York City, he enjoys melding classical techniques and flavors of Texas-style BBQ, infused with his own flavors, to create something unique and memorable, yet simple and refined.
