Chef Jose Garces has emerged as one of the nation’s leading chefs and restaurateurs. Today, he is the owner and operator of more than a dozen restaurants in five cities. He is the 2009 winner of the James Beard Foundation’s “Best Chef Mid-Atlantic” award and one of only a few chefs in the country to hold the coveted title of Iron Chef. Chef Garces is the author of The Latin Road Home (Lake Isle Press, October 2012), a culinary and cultural tour of Ecuador, Spain, Mexico, Cuba and Peru, and his debut cookbook, Latin Evolution (Lake Isle Press, Fall 2008).
An American born to Ecuadorian parents and raised in Chicago, Garces’ culinary training started early in life, in the kitchen of his paternal grandmother, Mamita Amada, where he learned to prepare family recipes and came to love food and cooking. After graduating from Kendall College’s School of Culinary Arts, Garces worked in top-rated professional kitchens from Spain to New York City before moving to Philadelphia in 2001 to make it his home where he lives today.

Celebrity Chefs
Celebrity chefs bring more than culinary expertise to the table because they teach and lead discussions which reach far into the world beyond cooking. These professionals use their culinary arts expertise and food innovation and entrepreneurial experience to blend techniques with storytelling for creating outstanding experiences. Today's influential celebrity chefs use their advocacy for healthy eating and sustainable cooking and food industry leadership to deliver understanding that reaches both lifestyle and business audiences. The combination of TV shows and global festivals and Michelin-starred kitchens makes celebrity chef speakers bring high-energy presentations that inspire cooking and passion to events. Audiences develop strong bonds with female celebrity chefs who lead food and cultural transformation through their creative food displays and entrepreneurial determination. The restaurant industry experiences transformation through the distinctive approach of British celebrity chefs and celebrity chefs in Las Vegas and Chicago as well as trailblazing celebrity women chefs who drive trends. At Speaker Booking Agency we assist you in finding the top celebrity chefs who will bring authenticity and innovation and purpose to your upcoming event.
