Jeremiah Tower is considered by many to be the first celebrity chef. Along with Chez Panisse’s Alice Waters, he is viewed as a preeminent pioneer of modern American cuisine. Anthony Bourdain said that “Jeremiah changed the world of restaurants and restaurant cooking. His menus made a complete re-evaluation of not just American food and ingredients – but food.”

Jeremiah Tower was the Executive chef and owner of Stars (1984-1998) in San Francisco, one of the highest grossing, most innovative, and profitable restaurants in the United States. Prior to Stars he was Executive chef and co-owner of the fabled Chez Panisse in Berkeley (1972-1978) where, to quote Anthony Bourdain, “Jeremiah Tower’s menus made Chez Panisse the place that everyone wanted to go.” During his tenure at Chez Panisse, Jeremiah was largely responsible for creating what became known as “California Cuisine, ” and later at Stars a major figure in creating “New American Cuisine.” Since the opening of Stars in 1984 Tower opened restaurants in Hong Kong (The Peak CafĂ©) and Stars in Singapore and Manila.
