Chef Michael Mina Announces Return To The Kitchen

Bay Area-based chef Michael Mina reportedly has relinquished his role as CEO of the Mina Group to re-focus on creating and cooking in his kitchens.

Mina’s eateries in the Bay area are:

• Arcadia in San Jose
• Bourbon Pub in Santa Clara at Levi’s® Stadium
