Michael Isabella is the Executive Chef at Jose Andres' nationally-renowned Greek-Mediterranean restaurant, Zaytinya, in Washington, DC. He honed his culinary skills along the East Coast—first working at a number of fine dining establishments in New York City, then at Alma de Cuba, Washington Square, and a host of Stephen Starr restaurants in Philadelphia before landing at Kyma, a top-notch Greek restaurant in Atlanta. There he learned the slight flavors and nuances of Greek cuisine and went on to travel through Greece and parts of the Middle East where he picked up more tricks of the trade. Octopus is his favorite dish to prepare, and the five ingredients he always has on hand are olive oil, sea salt, lemon, dill and chives.
