About Alexandra: Chef Alexandra Guarnaschelli began her career in France, with her working in some of the country’s top restaurants, including esteemed chef Guy Savoy’s three-star Michelin kitchen. In 2003, Guarnaschelli became the executive chef at Butter Restaurant in New York City, where she created an American menu spotlighting local ingredients in dishes that allowed their flavors to shine. Today, Guarnaschelli is recognized as one of America’s most accomplished top chefs, acclaimed for her work in the kitchen, as an author, and as a popular television personality. In addition to being an Iron Chef, Guarnaschelli hosts three of her own primetime series on Food Network – Ciao House, Supermarket Stakeout, and Alex vs America. She is also a regular co-host on The Kitchen and a recurring judge on Chopped. Alex's cookbook, "Cook It Up: Bold Moves for Family Foods: A Cookbook," which she authored with her daughter, Ava Clark, was released in June 2023 to rave reviews and was on the New York Times Bestseller list. Her latest cookbook, “Italian American Forever: Classic Recipes for Everything You Want To Eat” was recently released in the Fall of 2024 and was a New York Times best seller.

About The Restaurant Guys: Mark Pascal and Francis Schott are possibly the original food podcasters. They started interviewing the most interesting people in Food, Wine, and The Finer Things in Life at the dawn of podcasting in 2005. After 8 years they took a break from 2013 until just last year. Jacques Pepin helped The Restaurant Guys Podcast relaunch in July of 2024. They are now downloaded in 70 countries and host extraordinary culinary guests every week. This will be the first Restaurant Guys Podcast recorded in front of a live audience.
Mark and Francis are two of New Brunswick's own. They have operated Stage Left Steak and Catherine Lombardi Restaurants right next to NBPAC since the 1990s.
