I have been on a culinary adventure for over 30 years, the last 17 as the Executive Chef of Axia Taverna in Tenafly, NJ. I traveled to Greece to research my menu where I got to work with Greek Cook Book Author, and now friend, Diane Kochilas. Before that I worked for some of NYC’s best chefs, most notably Food Network star GeofferyZakarian ( Restaurant 44 at The Royalton Hotel, Patroon, Town at The Chambers Hotel ) and Eric Ripert at Three Michelin Starred Le Bernardin. I am here to share my experiences, thoughts, and some yum.
Cheers
Chef Alex Gorant
