Chef Art Smith shares his culinary journey and brings some culinary inspiration to your holiday season.

A two-time James Beard Foundation award winner, Art Smith believes, “The art of cooking, the act of feeding people, is the most engaging, most memorable way to connect with people.”

He began his career at the Florida Culinary Institute and honed his skills working with top chefs in France before finding himself in Chicago. Here he served as Oprah Winfrey’s personal chef for a decade and opened his first critically acclaimed restaurant, Table Fifty-Two, known for its modern Southern dishes and locally sourced ingredients.

Art Smith is also a prolific cookbook author and TV personality, sharing his passion for Southern cuisine. He has appeared on Top Chef, Top Chef Duels, Top Chef Masters, Iron Chef America, The Today Show, Good Morning America, Entertainment Tonight, BBQ Pitmasters, The Oprah Winfrey Show, and more.

Named Chicagoan of the Year by Chicago Magazine and Humanitarian of the Year by the James Beard Foundation, both in 2007, Art is currently executive chef and co-owner of restaurants in Chicago, Orlando, Atlanta, and Washington, DC. He is the founder of Common Threads, a nonprofit organization teaching low-income children to cook wholesome and affordable meals.

He will be joined in conversation by Monica Eng, award-winning Chicago journalist and cohost of the food podcast Chewing with Louisa Chu.
