Michael Schlow
Chef/Owner and Alchemist

In 1985, Brooklyn-born Michael Schlow traded a baseball scholarship and a 92 mile-an-hour fastball for a set of Wusthof knives and a place at the Academy of Culinary Arts in New Jersey. It marked the beginning of a journey that has led to opening Radius in January of 1999, which has garnered such awards as Best New Restaurant 2000 by Food & Wine Magazine, the James Beard Award of Excellence for "Best Chef in the Northeast" in May, 2000, and a place in Gourmet's 50 Best American Restaurants list, September, 2001. >>
