Joseph Giannuzzi - Chef/Owner
Joseph Giannuzzi brings over
twenty years of culinary experience to his position of executive chef/owner,
at The Green Gourmet, in Delray Beach. While he was born in Staten Island,
he was raised in Wellington, Florida, and developed a passion for surfing
and cooking as a teenager. He started working in restaurants at the
age of 16, mainly so he could surf during the day and cook at night.
His love of cooking quickly took precedence and became deep rooted and
insatiable. It wasn’t long before he started climbing the ranks working
with some of South Florida’s best chefs and restaurateurs at many
award-winning establishments such as Max’s beach place, Prezzo, Max’s
grille, and Zazu. He most recently hung his toque at Henry’s in Delray
Beach where he pleased his loyal guests for 8 years.
In his relentless pursuit of
great food something changed for chef Giannuzzi along the way. He began
to notice a change in the “fresh” ingredients being used at restaurants.
Waxy, genetically modified, flavorless were becoming the norm. The only
flavorful, bursting with life foods were what they were calling organic.
He took note of these organic farms and purveyors and created a network
of only the finest providers of fresh, local and organic ingredients.
With his newest venture chef Giannuzzi is proud to bring “from the
earth to the table”, a new way to dine. Prepared, American comfort
food with fresh, locally produced, hand picked ingredients. Big flavors
and creativity are his benchmark, which allow his gourmet comfort food
to consistently shine.
Giannuzzi resides in Delray Beach with his wife, Britt, a social worker and independent living coordinator at Kids at Home. When he is not working on recipes and cooking, he enjoys surfing.
