Michael Walker

I’m a culinary producer with over 8 years of experience at the intersection of food and digital media. From my early days coordinating shoots at Tastemade to leading culinary production at ZATV’s People Vs Food, I’ve developed a deep love for recipe development, creative problem-solving, and making great content shine through food.

I thrive in fast-paced environments, juggling prep schedules, recipe tests, and on-set execution — often pulling from both my producer brain and culinary instincts. Whether it’s sourcing hard-to-find ingredients, strategizing a multi-episode shoot, or reviving a fast food item so it looks perfect on camera, I find joy in the details.

Outside of production, I’m the founder of Comfy Pup, a Chicago-style comfort food pop-up that earned a spot at Smorgasburg LA. I bring heart, hustle, and humor into every kitchen I work in — and I’m always looking for what’s next on the plate.
