Celebrity Chef Geoffrey Zakarian Dining Experience

Throughout a career spanning 30 years, celebrity chef Geoffrey Zakarian has made his mark as a chef restaurateur known for his sophisticated taste and signature style. An accomplished chef, host and culinary consultant, Zakarian has presided over some of the country's top kitchens, traveling the world for new inspiration to marry with his classical training and techniques in a lifelong effort to deliver paramount hospitality experiences.

In addition to his status as a longtime favorite judge on Food Network's Chopped, and as an Iron Chef, Zakarian is a co-host on Food Network's Emmy-nominated daytime series, The Kitchen, which premiered in January 2014. 

Fashion, design, media, and the arts are also valuable sources of inspiration for the chef. "Food goes through similar style cycles and redefinitions as in these other industries. You need to know that landscape to understand how to achieve something timeless." He credits his staying power with this quest for timelessness and an enduring love of restaurants. "I still dream of a small restaurant I visited in Provence decades ago that taught me the balance of simple flavors and the art of heartfelt hospitality," he said. As his portfolio of projects continues to grow, everything that bears Zakarian’s name reflects his unwavering commitment to authenticity, design, quality, and his lifelong passion for la belle vie.
