ChefOrigins Jean-Georges Vongerichten
Born in Alsace on the French-
German border,
Jean-Georges cut
his culinary teeth
in France before a five-year-stint in
Asia, via Munich,
changed his
culinary outlook
for ever. A first star
landed in London,
before he found
home in New York,
where he now has
13 restaurants, part
of a global empire
that includes the
newly opened
ABC Kitchens at
The Emory hotel
in London.
