owner of the famous
Spago restaurants and
one of the most influential
chef-restauranteurs in
America, is credited with

culinary heritage. His
cooking innovations,

a result of blending fresh
California ingredients with his classical French techniques, are enjoyed
by world leaders, stars and fellow chefs alike. He established other

Main in Santa Monica, Vert and Trattoria del Lupo, and his latest creation,
Cut, a gourmet steakhouse in the Beverly Wilshire Hotel. Home chefs
