ABOUT JEAN-GEORGES VONGERICHTEN

Internationally renowned for his innovative, groundbreaking cuisine, Jean-Georges Vongerichten has emerged as one of the world's leading chefs. Acclaimed by critics as ‘formidably gifted' and a ‘residential genius,' his culinary vision has consistently set new standards and helped define modern cuisine. He has earned an unprecedented total of 20 stars from The New York Times for his New York City restaurants - Jean Georges, JoJo, Vong, Mercer Kitchen, Perry St and Spice Market. In 2007, Jean-Georges was awarded a total of six Michelin stars; three for Jean Georges, one each for Vong, JoJo and Perry St. A singularly notable accomplishment was the presentation of three major awards to Jean-Georges in 1998 by the James Beard Foundation - Best New Restaurant for Jean Georges, America's Outstanding Chef, and Who's Who of Food & Beverage. This ‘triple crown' to the same chef in the same year was a first for the Foundation. Vongerichten has published several cookbooks including Simple Cuisine (Wiley, 1990); Cooking at Home with a Four Star Chef (Broadway, 1998), for which he won the James Beard Foundation Award for Best Cookbook in 1999; Simple to Spectacular (Random House, 2000); and most recently, Asian Flavors of Jean-Georges (Broadway, 2007). He has appeared on the Today Show, Good Morning America, Martha Stewart Living, The Early Show on CBS and as a regular guest on TV’s Food Network.
