Waldorf= Astoria
The youngest person ever named to the position of Executive Chef at The Waldorf=Astoria in New York, John Doherty is a passionate, affable culinary leader who holds the distinction of having cooked for more presidents, royalty and heads-of-state than any other chef in the country. His highly successful Chef's Table, an exclusive dining venue in the heart of The Waldorf's main kitchen, has been the focus of the PBS show At The Chef's Table and have become a testing ground for Doherty's creativity, where dishes that may be one day served to the President or appear on a future menu are featured.
An advisory board member to New York's City Harvest, The French Culinary Institute and the Culinary Institute of America, Doherty is a frequent guest speaker at national culinary colleges and industry events. The culinary program at Johnson & Wales University grants an annual scholarship in his name and the March of Dimes, Long Island Chapter, named him Chef of The Year (2000). The father of three - Jenna, Patrick and Evan - lives on Long Island with his wife Donna.
