A longtime judge on Chopped, he is also a regular at food festivals and culinary events nationwide.

Beyond the kitchen, Marc is a dedicated industry leader and philanthropist. He previously served as the head of the Manhattan chapter of the New York State Restaurant Association and actively supports organizations including City Harvest, No Kid Hungry, Made by Dyslexia, the U.S. Department of State’s Diplomatic Culinary Partnership, and World Central Kitchen.

Marc also has a growing portfolio of food collaborations.

Across his restaurants, television work, products, and partnerships, Marc continues to focus on what has always driven him as a chef: great ingredients, approachable cooking, and bringing people together around the table.
