Deaf from spinal meningitis as a teenager, Mitcham attended Louisiana State University and moved to Greenwich Village where he owned an art gallery.
He acquired a reputation as a bohemian, raconteur, and "Renaissance man", spending much of his life in Provincetown, Massachusetts and New Orleans. He contributed a column to the Provincetown Advocate, since absorbed by the Banner. Many of his books combined personal memoir and recipes with his own woodcuts and drawings.
Anthony Bourdain has described Mitcham"s Provincetown Seafood Cookbook as "a witty, informative ode to local seafood, sprinkled with anecdotes".
He was the model for the "stone-deaf man" in Marguerite Young Mission MacIntosh, My Darling.
