Jean-Georges Vongerichten is one of the world’s most famous chefs, as well as a savvy businessman. Born and raised in Alsace, France, he is responsible for the operation and success of 60 restaurants worldwide. His flagship, Jean-Georges, has two Michelin stars, and he has published four cookbooks and a memoir, JGV: A Life in 12 Recipes. Chef Jean-Georges has appeared on the Today Show, Good Morning America, Top Chef, NBC’s Late Night with Jimmy Fallon, Late Night with Seth Meyers, and many more.
Involved in every aspect of his restaurants from concept and menu to architectural design, staff selection, training and finishing touches, the 66-year-old master has created timely and enduring restaurants, constantly innovating fresh ideas and impacting the global culinary landscape. Still, after 50 years of success, his favorite retreat remains the kitchen, and his favorite meal from a street cart in Thailand.
With three children and four grandchildren, Jean-Georges’ son, Cedric, followed his father into the culinary world with five restaurants of his own. His daughter, Louise, runs a foundation called Food Dreams, which aims to bridge the gap between underprivileged students and the culinary community.
