Jonathan Waxman

Jonathan Waxman first stepped into the culinary scene in 1970 when he retired from his career as a professional trombonist to enroll in the La Varenne cooking school in Paris. After working at the prestigious Chez Panisse alongside Alice Waters, he brought New American cuisine to New York City by opening the restaurants Jams and Washington Park. For his contributions to the culinary world, Jonathan was named one the most influential Americans by Esquire magazine. Today, he is the chef-owner of Barbuto, an Italian brasserie in New York City. He resides in Manhattan with his wife and three children.
