About The Chef

Chef Michael Symon cooks with soul. Growing up in a Greek and Sicilian family, the Cleveland native creates boldly flavored, deeply satisfying dishes at his restaurants: Mabel’s BBQ, Bar Symon, and Angeline. Michael also shares his exuberant, approachable cooking style and infectious laugh with viewers on Food Network shows Symon’s Dinners and Throwdown 

Since being named a Best New Chef by Food & Wine magazine in 1998, Michael and his restaurants have been awarded numerous honors. In 2000 Gourmet magazine chose Lola as one of America’s Best Restaurants.  In 2009, Michael earned The James Beard Foundation Award for Best Chef Great Lakes and in 2010, Michael was the first and only chef ever to host the annual Farm Aid benefit concert.
