Meet the Food 411 Team
Take one part writer, a helping of restaurant critic, and a dash of food-loving graphic designer and you have the force behind Food411SCV.com. Driven by their passion for all things food, friends and colleagues Michelle Sathe and Michelle Angelo are excited to bring you the latest and greatest culinary happenings right here in the Santa Clarita Valley.

As a child, Michelle spent a lot of time in the kitchen whipping up cinnamon rolls from scratch and voraciously studying cookbooks. After years of working in administrative capacities, the opinionated home cook and Southern California native made her way to Shanghai, China for a 15-month expatriate stint, where she found her calling reviewing restaurants for the English-language monthly "That's Shanghai"' as well as handling public relations for Hong Kong-owned restaurants Park 97 and Lava.

Upon returning to the States in 2000, Michelle worked in marketing and public relations in the nutritional supplement industry. Since 2003, after making a career change to journalism, Michelle has acted as a restaurant and food writer for "The Signal", "Santa Clarita Valley This Week", and "Santa Clarita Valley Living Magazine".

She co-hosts and created the cable show "Food 411 with Michelle and Fiona". Additionally, Michelle owns and operates In So Many Words, a public relations/creative company.

Inspiration often comes from the antics of her four furry children, Jake, Willy, Sam and Buster, with whom she lives with in scenic Pine Mountain Club. Michelle's current signature dishes include roast chicken, penne pasta with sausage in tomato cream sauce, and homemade brownies.

Her dogs prefer her beef stew.
Michelle Sathe
 
Growing up in lush Washington state, Michelle developed a skill for gardening and a highly refined palate at a young age. As an adult, she studied design and became a graphic artist before starting her own drive-thru coffee business, Wolf Espresso.

After four years, Michelle went back to graphic design, becoming a sought-after art director for a myriad of companies, including American International, Designing Health, and Santa Clarita Valley Publications (where she won numerous design awards).

Michelle currently runs her own design company, Angelo Graphics, and acts as set designer, camerawoman, and all-around wunderkind on "Food 411 with Michelle and Fiona".

She and husband Randy are familiar faces on the local dining scene, always on the lookout for that perfect martini or meal, when they're not out in their beautiful Val Verde garden with Setters Cherokee and Cheyenne. Michelle is also highly regarded in certain circles for her kick-ass gumbo and homemade granola.

She still only eats clams flown in from Seattle.
