Chef and founder of 250 seat India Joze Restaurant, Santa Cruz, California, in operation from 1972 to 1999. CEO of India Joze Incorporated for twenty-five years.
Long before "ethnic cooking" was an industry buzzword, award-winning India Joze Restaurant unfolded the cuisines of Eurasia with its own special slant. Schultz developed cooking styles that met the need for speed and flexibility with fresh ingredients. From the lavish spicinesses of ancient Rome to the pastries of Austria and France, from the aromatic splendors of regal Java, Bali and Thailand curries, to the fragrant lightness of Mediterranean cuisine, Joze was a pioneer in high intensity world-ranging cooking. Everything in the restaurant was made from scratch, from drinks to relishes to desserts. The eclectic menu was matched by a diversity of service styles, from elaborate dinner fine dining, to performance event food parades, to cafe service to special events for hundreds of people.
The recipient of numerous local and regional awards, Joze was voted number one restaurant in Santa Cruz in a reader’s poll in San Francisco’s PBS magazine Focus in 1995 and had been voted in the top three for the previous six years.
India Joze hosted the original International Calamari Festival for seventeen years, as well as the Chickpea Festival and Mushroom Festival for nine and five years respectively. India Joze is famous for special culinary events, including Persian New Year Celebration, Deem Sum food parades and classes in the many cuisines they are famous for.
