CAMERON ROLKA 

Chef and Owner at Umbo, Traverse City

Chef Cameron Rolka has worked in a wide array of establishments, from 3-Michelin star Martin Berasategui in Spain to some of Detroit's best restaurants, (Dime Store, Republic Tavern, Takoi in exile, Takoi, and Marrow.) His role in the opening of such prominent Detroit restaurants led him to the opening of Mink in Corktown, Detroit in November 2019. Mink is a small 17 seat restaurant featuring a seasonally influenced and constantly rotating selection of oysters, a seafood based tasting menu, caviar service, and a wide selection of curated tinned seafoods. Impeccable sourcing from local farms, a diverse list of oyster farms, sustainable seafood, and high end ingredients sets chef Rolka apart. Cutting his teeth at Mink served as the perfect training ground for the launch of Umbo in Traverse City in 2026.
