Bonita Springs, Florida, September 10th, 2021– Iconic Southwest Florida caterer, Crave Culinaire, announces that Mike Sulkey has joined the team as Catering Manager last month. Since 2013, Crave Culinaire, along with its collection of five-star culinary brands, including Virtual Venue SWFL, Crave Event Staffing, Crave2Go and Zest at Valencia Bonita have been wowing crowds, bringing back celebrations in a big way. Through immaculate culinary creations, expert event design and a top-level staff that goes above and beyond, Crave Culinaire creates moments to last a lifetime.
Sulkey comes to Crave Culinaire with over 35 years of Food and Beverage experience, which has taken him from hotels and cruise lines to night clubs, high-end restaurants and catering events. Although Sulkey has immense experience in the industry, his path is diverse. Serving his country in the United States Army, Sergeant Sulkey was a part of the Army’s Elite 82nd Airborne Division. Utilizing his experience in the Army, in addition to developing working relationships in the local area, Sulkey has made a name for himself in the industry. Working with Chef Brian Roland, Co-Owner of Crave Companies in the past, Sulkey has continued to develop his skills, working his way up from General Manager of Chops City Grill to Regional Sales & Catering Manager for Florida with Ruth’s Chris Steakhouse. Calling Southwest Florida home for over 20 years, when he’s not planning the next signature event, Sulkey enjoys spending time with his wife, son and daughter at the beach or on the baseball diamond, where both siblings are All Star players.
Led by Chef Brian and Nicole Roland, Crave Culinaire (www.craveculinaire.com) seeks to break boundaries when it comes to presenting culinary masterpieces. Creating a story through food, the team inspires guests, leaving them with lasting memories.
