Table 14

Once upon a time on the beach of Stearns park in Ludington, MI a boy met a girl. and the rest is history. Howard was a navy brat, moving to Louisiana, California and Maryland before returning to his birth place of Ludington at 16. Laura was a transplant from Minnesota who grew up in Ludington just three blocks from Stearns beach. After getting married in Ludington and moving to Traverse City for a brief stint, the couple decided to relocate to Charleston, SC so Howard could attend Johnson and Wales University to study Culinary Arts. Chef Howard honed his craft in the eclectic southern style of the Low country coastal region while working for ClubCorp at private city clubs in South Carolina. A few years ago they decided to bring his craft back home to the shores of Lake Michigan. After much dreaming, planning and hard work, Laura and Howard opened Table 14 in August of 2016 with their two southern born sons, Blaise and Chance.
