George Duran is a polylingual chef, comedian and host and culinary contributor for Good Morning America. Author of Take This Dish and Twist it, known for his Food Network show Ham on the Street and host of TLC’s The Ultimate Cake Off!. He’s also appeared as guests on Live with Kelly, NBC’s Today Show, CBS This Morning, The Wendy Williams Show, The Dr. Oz Show, The Tamron Hall Show and many others.
With such a diverse background, when it came time for college—New York City seemed the obvious choice. So Duran left his beloved Caracas behind to attend New York University, where he majored in Mass Media and Communications Studies.
Post college, Duran continued to follow his Radio Muse, working as an on-air personality for an award-winning comedy show on WPLJ and WABC in New York.
In 2000, Duran began to produce on the popular MTV show, House of Style, and promptly began to host on the Latin music television station HTV.
By 2002 George would follow his culinary passion to Paris, France, where he attended culinary school at L’École Supérieure de Cuisine Française. While attending school, Duran created and hosted in French the culinary show Pop Cuisine on France’s Cuisine TV network. His unpretentious, quirky culinary style was a hit—garnering Pop Cuisine a nomination for a French Emmy for Best Cable Show as well as an International Gastronomic Award.
In 2005, Duran returned to New York, taking his career as a TV Chef to the next level— creating and hosting Food Network’s popular Ham on the Street. A couple years later Duran expanded his presence on the network, hosting The Secret Life of…, a light hearted exploration of the history of the foods we love.
< p>By October, 2008, George’s popular cookbook, Take This Dish and Twist It hit bookstore shelves. As colorful and funny as the chef himself, Duran’s book is packed with highly useful tips, extremely amusing anecdotes—and of course, obscenely mouthwatering recipes, revealing his delectably unexpected take on comfort foods and snacks.
In 2010 George was asked to join TLC’s prime time line-up by hosting The Ultimate Cake Off! where the nation’s top cake artists compete against each other to build the ultimate cake.
He currently lives with his wife and his two picky-eating sons in Harlem, NY. For further information check out http://www.georgeduran.com.
