Meet the Chef Instructors
Michael Clauss
Store Manager, South End
Chef Michael grew up on a converted dairy farm in New Jersey. His passion for food was fostered by his Italian mother and aunt, who were avid home cooks. A graduate of the Culinary Institute of America, Michael has cooked at acclaimed restaurants including Tribeca Grill in New York City and Daniel Boulud's Restaurant Daniel. He also spent four years as a Chef Instructor at the New England Culinary Institute.
Adam Herschel
Prepared Foods Manager, South End
Chef Adam's culinary journey began as a second career. After training in several local fine dining kitchens, he became deeply inspired by Vermont's local food and farm movement, which led him to study agronomy to better understand the connection between soil health and nutrient-dense food. Working with City Market has allowed Adam to build meaningful relationships with local farmers while contributing to the Co-op's food access mission.
