Geoffrey Zakarian was born on July 25, 1959, in Worcester, Massachusetts. He pursued an education in economics at Worcester State University before deciding to become a chef. His culinary journey began in France, followed by an associate degree from the Culinary Institute of America in Hyde Park, New York. Early in his career, he apprenticed under Daniel Boulud at Le Cirque, serving as a “Chef de Cuisine” from 1982 to 1987. This foundational experience in classical French cuisine shaped his approach to cooking.
Zakarian’s career continued to evolve with significant executive chef roles, starting in 1990 at 44 in the Royalton Hotel in midtown Manhattan, a position that drew critical acclaim. He later expanded his reach to Miami Beach at the Blue Door of the Delano Hotel and achieved further recognition at Patroon in Manhattan, which received three stars from The New York Times in 1998. The early 2000s saw him successfully launch his own Manhattan restaurants, Town and Country, both earning impressive reviews, including a Michelin Star for Country. His first book, “Geoffrey Zakarian’s Town / Country,” published in 2006, was praised by The New York Times.
His transition into television cemented his status as a public figure in the culinary world. He became a judge on Food Network’s “Chopped” and competed in and won “The Next Iron Chef” in 2011, leading to his induction into “Iron Chef America.” Further television roles include co-hosting “The Kitchen” and hosting “Cooks vs. Cons.” Beyond his restaurant and media work, Zakarian is actively involved in philanthropic efforts as chairman of the City Harvest Food Council, addressing hunger in New York City.
