View ProfileEnjoy your childhood comfort food, but kicked up a few notches. Chef Jose's signature macaroni and cheese is totally irresistible with al dente cavatappi pasta and a decadent four-cheese sauce. Adding in slices of Adobo-spiced, seared chicken breast makes the dish a bit heartier and more balanced, with the heat from the Adobo breaking up all that richness. To take it over the top, Chef tops it with a buttery Panko breadcrumb topping infused with fresh herbs, plus some Gruyere and Parmesan cheeses for extra nuttiness, then bakes the entire dish. This is a guaranteed crowd-pleaser that will have everyone fighting over the last bite!

Iron Chef, father, husband, James Beard Award-winner, entrepreneur, and food innovator, Chef Jose Garces is known as a leading culinary authority of Spanish and Latin-American food.
From the Spanish tapas at Amada, his first restaurant, to the playful Japanese street food at Okatshe in Atlantic City, Chef Garces continually pushes the boundaries of culinary excellence.
While he maintains his successful career owning and operating full-service restaurants, Chef Garces is also looking toward the future, with an increased focus on bringing restaurant-quality experiences to the homes and businesses of culinary enthusiasts in new and interesting ways. From enhanced home delivery options and virtual online cooking demos, to live online cooking classes, Chef Garces is excited to connect with both fans of his work on television, as well as the home cook who’d like to experience “chef life” in their own kitchen.
As a child of immigrants and a leader in the diverse and inclusive hospitality industry, the wellbeing of his community in Philadelphia has always been dear to Chef Garces’ heart. To help provide ongoing and actionable assistance to the immigrant community, Chef Garces co-founded The Garces Foundation in 2011. The Garces Foundation provides services, including community health days, English language skills classes that target the restaurant industry, and most recently, an increased focus on procuring and providing food supplies to the food insecure.
Chef Garces is the author of two cookbooks, Latin Evolution and The Latin Road Home, published by Lake Isle Press.
