Throughout the week, 5Loaves2Fish travels around the area, serving meals in Traverse City, Suttons Bay, Lake Leelanau, Northport and Leland. “We meet people where they’re at,” said co-founder Michelle White. And it’s Josh Miller, the executive chef of the operation, who is tasked with cooking the meals. “He’s for sure a chef,” said Bill. “Executive is a bit fancy.” Sometimes, Bill continued, cooking at 5Loaves2Fish can be a “wild card. Fifty people will show up to Veteran’s Park one day, and the next 70 will come.” “So, we set up for 80,” said Miller. “We bring the extra food back or send it somewhere else.”

You can pretty much read the story of Josh Miller’s life on the back of his Subaru. It is plastered with decals for ski gear companies, and that has been his passion and then winter occupation for 44 of his 47 years. But then your eyes track downward to the license plate: PORKRST, and you recognize the meat master, grill-meister, and talented chef that is Josh Miller for the rest of the year. The way he manages to balance two jobs is typical of so many workers who are the year-round residents in this seasonal feast or famine land of Leelanau.
