Greenville, SC
Born and raised in Evanston, Illinois, Chef Michael Trace began his culinary journey in Chicago as a line cook at The Kerryman. After honing his early skills in one of the city’s most iconic Irish pubs, he relocated to Greenville, South Carolina, where his career flourished. He served as Sous Chef at The Trappe Door before joining Table 301 Restaurant Group, ultimately stepping into the role of Chef de Cuisine at both Soby’s and Jones Oyster Company.
Chef Michael’s culinary style is rooted in bold, vibrant flavors. He draws inspiration from Mexican and Latin cuisines and has a deep love for barbecue and meats. Having started his career on the grill, he brings a strong mastery of proteins and a thoughtful, technique-driven approach to every dish he creates.
Now venturing into the private chef world, Chef Michael is excited to join EPC and grow his culinary business as a partner within the EPC incubator. He looks forward to bringing his creativity, experience, and passion for hospitality directly into the homes of his clients while helping support and uplift fellow chefs within the cooperative.
