LAXLA Mike Stoltzfus
Join us for a culinary series as Rustic Canyon welcomes standout New Orleans chefs to cook alongside Chef Elijah Deleon. Curated by our General Manager Lorenzo—who has deep ties to both New Orleans and Santa Monica—the series celebrates the shared spirit of hospitality, community, and tradition between the two cities.
It’s a true homecoming—full of flavor, memory, and connection.
Chef Mike Stoltzfus grew up on a Maryland dairy farm and found his culinary calling when helping his mom open a bakery. In 2008, he launched Coquette in New Orleans’ Garden District—earning acclaim for his ingredient-driven dishes and becoming a two-time James Beard “Best Chef: South” finalist.
