Jean-Georges Vongerichten is one of the most influential chefs of all time. From revolutionising New York's restaurant scene to building an empire of around 60 restaurants across the world, his career has been nothing short of extraordinary. But behind the Michelin stars and iconic restaurants are some truly unbelievable stories. This week, Jean-Georges joins us to reveal what it was really like cooking Donald Trump's wedding, why Barack Obama publicly objected to his infamous pea guacamole, and the extraordinary night he witnessed Marco Pierre White chasing a young chef down the street with a frying pan. He also tells us how a kitchen mistake led to the creation of his legendary molten chocolate cake, how a producer behind Michael Jackson's music videos handed him $250,000 to open his first restaurant, and why losing his third Michelin star was one of the worst moments of his career. We trace his remarkable journey from growing up in Alsace and training in France's greatest kitchens to discovering the flavours of Thailand and transforming the way Americans thought about French food. From JoJo and Vong to the legendary Jean-Georges restaurant and the $350 million Tin Building project, this is a fascinating conversation about ambition, creativity, extraordinary success and the realities of building a global restaurant empire. An unforgettable hour with one of the true legends of the culinary world.
