The gramercy apartments
Gramercy Park is located at 57 Grange Road, Singapore 249569 in District 10, where it is literally a short 10 minutes’ stroll to reach the famed Orchard MRT station. Astoundingly crafted by the well-renowned NBBJ, it is recognized to be one of the most stunning and innovative establishment to grace Singapore with a perfect yet unique symmetry across the whole majestic tower.
Many automatically associate Chef Tom Colicchio with Top Chef, a hit reality show where he is one of the leading judges. But there is more to Chef Colicchio than just Top Chef alone.
Chef Colicchio was born on the 15th of August 1962 in Elizabeth, New Jersey. Growing up, he has always been surrounded by the aroma of cooking food, what with his Italian mother's as well as grandmother's passion for food and cooking. In fact, he had so loved helping around in the kitchen that his father suggested that he pursue a career in the culinary world.
He began teaching himself the French style of cooking and immersed himself in culinary books like La Technique as well as La Methode written by the legendary chef, Chef Jacques Pepin. At a very young age, he was already impressing people with his culinary abilities that, at the age of 17 years old, he landed a job in his hometown's Evelyn's Seafood Restaurant.
After his stint at Evelyn's Seafood Restaurant, he then went on to try his culinary skills in New York, which is the food capital of the country. In the city, he found work at some of the famous restaurants such as The Quilted Giraffe as well as Rakel. He also found a job at the Gotham Bar & Grill and Mondrian. gramercy park singapore floor plans
It was when he was working at Mondrian as its executive chef that his culinary style caught the attention of the Food & Wine Magazine. The prestigious magazine named him as one of the country's top ten "Best New Chefs." Aside from this prestigious title, he was also awarded three stars by The New York Times.
It was in the mid 1990s that Chef Colicchio and Danny Meyer, his partner, thought of launching their own restaurant. They launched their own restaurant in the Gramercy Park area of Manhattan and called in Gramercy Tavern. Two years after first opening Gramercy Tavern to the public, in 1996, The New York Times' Ruth Reichl gave the restaurant three stars and called Chef Colicchio as a confident chef who is not afraid of blending bold flavors to create unusual balance of flavors. Aside from this, in 2000, Chef Colicchio was also awarded by the James Beard Foundation as the Best Chef in New York.
His achievement not enough, Chef Colicchio then launched Craft a year after his James Beard Foundation Award. Likewise, his new venture received three stars from The New York Times' William Grimes and Best New Restaurant from the James Beard Foundation in 2002. Chef Colicchio also received a Chef of the Year award from Bon Appetit. the gramercy apartments
The success of Craft prompted him to launch a sandwich shop chain named Craftbar (located in New York City) as well as Crafsteak (located in Las Vegas). Chef Colicchio also launched a sandwich shop chain, the Wichcraft. Right now, there are 14 such sandwich shops in New York City as well as in Las Vegas and San Francisco. His Crafsteak and Craft also branched out, and they can now be found not only in New York in Las Vegas but also in Dallas, Los Angeles, and Atlanta. He has also launched Colicchio & Sons in New York, another three-star restaurant by The New York Times. It was also during this year, 2010, that he received an Outstanding Chef award from the James Beard Foundation for his contributions to the culinary world.
These are not the only things that keep Chef Colicchio busy though. He is also working as a consultant at numerous restaurants as well as private clubs, and he is also writing cookbooks. Right now, he has published three cookbooks - Think Like a Chef, Craft of Cooking, and Wichcraft. He has also written Top Chef the Cookbook. His first book won an award from the James Beard Foundation in 2001, The James Beard Kitchen Aid Cookbook Award.
Chef Colicchio became one of the leading judges of Top Chef when it was first aired in 2006. The reality show was an instant success that it also received awards and praises as well as an Emmy award for himself in 2010. gramercy park singapore review
