Tom Colicchio is a well-known American chef. He’s won five prestigious James Beard Foundation Medals for his culinary skills. His Gramercy Tavern was voted most popular in New York City by Zagat in both 2003 and 2005. He’s also a fixture as head judge on Bravo’s smash-hit reality TV cooking competition, Top Chef.
