A man with Italian origin, happily married to filmmaker Lori Silverbush and blessed with three sons, Tom Colicchio has successfully made a brand name for himself through his culinary skills.
It all began in July 1994 when he co-founded the Gramercy Tavern in New York City. The highlight of this restaurant was that it was voted The Most Popular Restaurant in New York City by the Zagat Survey in 2003 & 2005. Later disassociating himself from it, he moved on to various other ventures like opening the first Craft restaurant, the first Craftsteak restaurant, and the sandwich shop ‘wichcraft. He then achieved another landmark by opening Colicchio & Sons.
He showed his humanitarian side by serving food to rescue workers at Ground Zero after the 9/11 attacks. He bagged the prestigious James Beard five times. He also made himself a household name by appearing in many TV shows pertaining to cookery. Not to mention that he even wrote three cookery books.
