His favorite food and beverage combo is potato pancakes and smoked ham hock with an ice cold Pilsner beer. When Michal isn't in the kitchen cooking he enjoys painting and camping.

Her favorite food and beverage combo congee rice porridge with Pellegrino and lemon. When Osiris isn't planning an event or sending out a proposal she enjoys relaxing and redecorating her home.
​
After living in Seattle, WA for the last 20+ years the Golas uprooted their life and moved to Southern New Mexico in 2020. Due to covid the couple made the decision to close Golas Kitchen in Seattle and fulfilled their lifelong dream of opening an eatery in the middle of nowhere. Fast forward to today, Tumbleweeds Diner is located on Highway 60 and feeds locals and tourists alike. To learn more about what the Golas are up to read the following articles:
