You may have seen him in action on one of his many daytime TV cooking segments, competing on Food Network Star, or at a prestigious national food and wine event across the country. But one thing is for certain; whenever Chef David Rose is around… you’ll find plenty of great food and laughter! Born in New Jersey to two chef parents, David always had an adventurous, curious, and diverse palate. If it smelled good and looked good, chances are it would get eaten.
Like a truffle pig, he sniffed out his culinary interests, and it led him to Le Cordon Bleu College of Culinary Arts in Atlanta, Georgia, where he ultimately settled for the last 20 years. He identifies as a Southern chef, but also creatively reinterprets classic Southern fare by incorporating the refinement of his French culinary training, along with his signature bold flavors and the occasional flair from his family’s Jamaican recipes. Cooking and eating is David’s life… literally!
Chef Rose is a Food Network/TV personality, Omaha Steaks Executive Chef/Spokesperson, and serves as a national brand ambassador for Nissan USA and Big Green Egg. He’s also the cookbook author of the soon to be released EGGin’: David Rose Cooks on the Big Green Egg.
Rose appeared as a finalist on Food Network Star (Season 13), cooking head-to-head with Bobby Flay and fielding praise from Giada de Laurentiis. Chef David Rose regularly appears on Food Network, Good Morning America, The Today Show, Home & Family, Steve Harvey Show, EXTRA TV, Tamron Hall, Dr. Oz, and various national morning shows. As well as being featured in Rachael Ray, Food Network, Forbes, and Essence magazines.
As a special events chef and culinary content creator, Chef David Rose works with many high-profile brands and professional clientele. Outside of the kitchen, he continues to draw culinary inspiration from his travels.
“Food is life… It not only feeds the body, but it nourishes the soul. To know me is to taste my cooking.”
