INTRODUCING CHEF SIMON CORDES
Born and raised in Germany, Chef Simon Cordes grew up with a deep appreciation for quality food, kindled at home and ignited by a childhood trip to Spain. After graduating from the culinary institute in Cologne in 2010, he built his skills across some of Europe's top kitchens, including Le Château de Nantilly (★) in France, Noma (★★) in Copenhagen, La Vie (★★★) in Osnabrück, and Red Bull Hangar-7's Ikarus (★★) in Salzburg. In 2015, he moved to New York City, cooking at a Michelin-starred restaurant in lower Manhattan before working in JPMorgan's corporate dining room. Chef Simon is driven by a desire to reframe German cuisine beyond Bavarian comfort food, refining it with classical French technique, modernizing it with a lighter touch, and shaping it with broad Mediterranean influences.
