With over 30 years of culinary experience, Chef Jim Malinowski brings a passion for global flavors and a deep commitment to locally sourced, farm-to-table cuisine. He spent 16 years as Executive Chef at Edinburgh USA, a premier country club in the Twin Cities, and led several other respected kitchens throughout the metro area.
In recent years, Chef Malinowski relocated to Ashland, Wisconsin, where he helped establish and operate Freehands Farm and Freehands Lakeside—two ventures dedicated to authentic, seasonal dining. Following the pandemic, he continued to make his mark on the regional food scene by contributing to new restaurant openings on Madeline Island during the off-season.
