REZA KHORSHIDI | CHEF & CO-PROPEIRTOR
FOR THE PAST TWENTY YEARS REZA KHORSHIDI HAS BEEN THE HIGHLY ACCLAIMED CHEF OF REBECCAS, THE MODERN AMERICAN RESTAURANT IN GREENWICH, CT THAT HE OWNS WITH HIS WIFE AND PARTNER, REBECCA KIRHOFFER.
ESQUIRE MAGAZINE CALLS HIS COOKING “DELECTABLE” WITH A “MIX OF SHARP FLAVORS AND BRITTLE TEXTURES EXEMPLARY OF MODERN AMERICAN CUISINE.” THE NEW YORK TIMES GAVE REBECCAS THE COVETED RATING OF “EXCELLENT,” NOTING, “THERE ISN’T SPACE TO DESCRIBE IN DETAIL THE ELEGANCE OF EACH DISH.”
FOOD & WINE WROTE THAT HIS COOKING “IS MARKED BY FRENCH TECHNIQUE AND SIMPLICITY THAT INSPIRES NEW YORKERS TO DRIVE NORTH TO CONNECTICUT.”
IT WAS AT LA GOULUE THAT KHORSHIDI ATTRACTED THE ATTENTION OF GOURMET MAGAZINE, WHOSE PUBLISHER WAS A FREQUENT LUNCH GUEST. THE REVIEW IN GOURMET RECOGNIZED ONE OF THE KEYS TO KHORSHIDI’S SUCCESS – IT IS “THE QUALITY OF THE INGREDIENTS THAT CATCHES EVERYONE’S ATTENTION.”
