over 15 years of experience to his latest labor of love –
Mickey’s Restaurant and Bar.
Growing
up in Israel, as a child in a large family that cooked every
day, his course was always set toward a culinary career. It
was there where he became familiar with and fell in love with
the tastes of the Mediterranean. This Israeli born and raised
culinary artist brings an intrinsic passion for the food and
wine to Connecticut. Chef Josephs understands the need to be
extraordinary – the need to go above and beyond in a all
facets of the industry. Chef Josephs is driven by success and
an impeccable appreciation for quality and service and is committed
to providing creative and exquisite culinary experiences that
brings the guest back. His penchant toward guest satisfaction
goes without question as he exudes a work ethic that can be
compared to few. This hallmark of service has earned him not
only the respect of his peers, but more importantly, the community
in which he serves.
He
had the opportunity to implement his overall vision and follow
his passion when he opened Rosemary and Sage in Old Saybrook
Connecticut which included a menu centered on Mediterranean
cuisine with an Italian influence. Naturally, Chef Josephs prides
himself on his allegiance to his cultural heritage and his acute
understanding of the exotic herbs and spices that are a signature
addition to his cooking.
Now
the owner of Mickey’s Restaurant in Hamden, Josephs uses
the freshest ingredients and has a long list of daily specials
that he prepares from scratch daily. The culinary strength of
this establishment and early success is not surprising with
his revolving seasonal and regional menus, atmosphere and décor
- the perfect mix of fine dining, ambience and comfort.
