Howard Mitcham

Provincetown's most famous chef, Howard Mitcham (1917 96) is widely considered the first of the celebrity chefs, and his recipes reflect the Creole influence of his second home in New Orleans. Mitcham's co-workers characterized him as "a true bohemian" and "a great art lover and so well read that there wasn't a literary or mythical reference he didn't know.""
