Jose Garces

The Next Iron Chef Season 2

Jose Garces is on this season of The Next Iron Chef. Jose was born in America to Ecuadorian parents and called Chicago his home. He credits his paternal grandmother with much of his love for cooking. He opened his first restaurant in 2005 and went on to open five more in the 2000 decade. He has also written a cookbook and won numerous industry accolades. He most recently appeared on The Food Network's Iron Chef America. His goal is to keep food authentic and yet innovative, two terms he feels are not contradictory in the least. He is currently serving as executive chef and owner of the restaurants of Amada, Tinto, Distrito and Chifa.
