SUPERCHFBLOG COVERAGE BIO

Emeril was cooking just fine for more than seven years at Commander's Palace in New Orleans, when he thought to himself, why don't I kick it up a notch? Bam! Leaves Commander's Palace in New Orleans to set up his own shop. Bam! Opens a second restaurant. Bam! He's on the Food Network. He runs through a few shows until he gets it right with Essence of Emeril. Next thing, you know and bam! he's signed up with William Morris and working through this 1,000th episode of Emeril Live (2001) and three daytime Emmy nominations. Now, he's up to nine restaurants from Las Vegas to Orlando, some dozen cookbooks, cookware (All-Clad), foodstuffs (B&G Foods), and wearables. Since 2002, he's had a foundation, too, to support and encourage programs creating developmental and educational opportunities for children.

BIO:           Tom Colicchio is a self-made chef. Bucking the trend to go to the CIA or Johnson & Wales, Tom worked his way up through restaurants in his native New Jersey and then New York City at hot spots, like the Quilted Giraffe under Barry Wine and Rakel under fellow super chef Thomas Keller. He landed his first executive chef at midtown Mondrian. Though the restaurant failed, he picked up uber-financiers to back his next move to Gramercy Tavern with Manhattan restaurateur Danny Meyer. Tom struck out on his own – keeping those deep pocketed financiers and architect Bentel & Bentel – with Craft (New York), Craftbar (New York), Craftsteak (in Las Vegas and New York) and 'wichcraft (multiple locations), along with other consulting projects -- and three cookbooks. Having said in Super Chef (2004) that he would not do Television, he is currently the star of the most successful Reality Food TV show to date, Bravo's Top Chef.
