Jose Garces
Ecuadorian American Garces may be the top Latino rising chef in the country. He won the prestigious James Beard Foundation’s "Best Chef Mid-Atlantic" in 2009, won The Next Iron Chef in 2009 and has seven highly successful restaurants in Philadelphia and another in Chicago. His food? Everything from Spanish and Basque tapas to Mexican to a Peruvian-Chinese. Garces is a one-man testament to our diversity.
