Michael Psilakis is an American celebrity chef, restaurateur, and author with a rich Greek heritage. He is known in the culinary industry for his expertise in Greek cuisine and has owned and operated numerous well-received restaurants around New York City, notably MP Taverna and Kefi. Psilakis has also cooked for significant figures, most notably President Barack Obama at the White House.
Psilakis's public presence extends beyond the kitchen. He has been a prominent figure on several television shows. He has been both a contestant and a judge on "Ultimate Recipe Showdown" and "Iron Chef America" and hosted "The Best Thing I Ever Ate," thereby showcasing his multifaceted culinary skills.
