Chef owned and operated by Michael Roller and his wife Melissa, Savory Harvest Catering has been located at Samel’s Deli and Catering in Pittsfield, MA since May of 2004. Our primary interest in owning the property was to have a location to take advantage of Michael's extensive culinary background with the primary focus on catering functions and weddings.
Chef Michael has been in the Hospitality industry for nearly 30 years and specifically has been involved with high-end fine-dining and lodging facilities. His experience prior to owning this business includes four years as Special Events Chef at Boston University. His position there entailed oversight of up-scale fundraising and other high profile university events. Prior to this he was the Executive Chef at Blantyre in Lenox, MA for six years. While there Chef Michael earned numerous accolades and solid reviews for his cuisine. Under his direction Blantyre earned its fourth star from Mobil and the dining room rated the highest score in the Zagat Restaurant Survey for any restaurant in all of Massachusetts.
