About Chef Kulin Froelich
Chef & owner Kulin Froelich has spent 13 years refining his culinary expertise. He is a graduate of the Great Lakes Culinary Institute in Traverse City, Michigan. After graduation, he started his culinary journey in the kitchen of Chef Myles Anton at Trattoria Stella. Under Chef Myles' guidance, Kulin learned the true spirit of traditional Italian cooking. On his days off, he began a stagier with colleagues at nearby Tapawingo owned by James Beard award-nominated Chef Harlan "Pete" Peterson and operated by Executive Chef Tommy Kazabuski. It is there that Kulin was inspired by Chef Tommy to begin a lifelong partnership with the culinary world. When Tapawingo closed in 2009, Kulin decided to follow his culinary mentor to Chandler's a Restaurant in Petoskey where he proudly served as his Chef de Cuisine for 10 years.
Kulin has a significant repertoire of ethnic and classic dishes and possesses eminent knowledge of traditional, new American, and French-style cooking. Kulin is inspired most by the science behind health-conscious food preparation. By personally shopping for your pantry ingredients, he guarantees no azo dyes, harmful preservatives, chemicals, or shelf stabilizers that are often disguised as natural ingredients in your pantry.
