Today we are hosting the legendary groundbreaking celebrity chef Katsuji Tanabe. Katsuji comes from humble upbringings. Coming to America at 18 years old, Tanabe struggled to make ends meet. He lived a quaint life in Los Angeles where he shared a one bedroom apartment with his mom and sister; working multiple jobs to get by.
Chef Tanabe’s big break came in 2005 when he was promoted to Executive Sous Chef at Mastros and was later asked to appear in PBS’ “Cooking Under Fire.” Since then, he has appeared on multiple television shows including Top Chef, Food Fighters, and Chow Masters.
Throughout his rise to fame, Chef Tanabe stayed focused on his goal of owning world renown restaurants. Today, Tanabe owns 6 restaurants across North America with plans to open another in 2019.
Chef Tanabe has mastered the art of Kosher Cooking and takes prides in the authenticity of his recipes. He also works with Rabbi's to ensure that the ingredients he is using are 100% Kosher. Katsuji found a sense of home in Judaism and the faith has brought him closer to his craft and his spirituality.
