Congratulations to Dani Humm. The Swiss chef of Eleven Madison Park got the 2010 James Beard Foundation Award for “Best Chef: New York City”. We wish “en guete!”
A native of Switzerland, Daniel began his formal culinary training at the age of 14. In his late teens, as Executive Chef of Gasthaus zum Gupf in the Swiss Alps, Daniel earned a Michelin Star. In 2003, Daniel moved to the United States as Executive Chef of Campton Place in San Francisco where he immediately received widespread attention, including Four Stars from The San Francisco Chronicle. Three years later, Daniel was selected Executive Chef of Eleven Madison Park. Under Daniel’s leadership, Eleven Madison Park was elevated to Three Stars from The New York Times in January 2007. In 2008, the restaurant won the James Beard Foundation Award for “Outstanding Wine Service,” and was designated Grand Chef Relais & Châteaux. Most recently, Eleven Madison Park received its first ever Four Star review from The New York Times in August 2009.
