In its roughly year-long existence, The Chef’s Loft was a novel presence in the Valley culinary scene.
By day, owner Michael Murray used the 3,300-square foot space (which was located on the second floor at SouthBridge, in the same building as Metro Brasserie and Tapas Papa Frita, and had a full exhibition kitchen) as a studio for filming instructional cooking videos and culinary educational materials.
And by night, he hosted private parties, cooking classes hosted by various chefs, and even cooking “open mic nights.”
