Tiffani Faison - TOP CHEF

After working under chefs such as Todd English and Daniel Boulud, Chef Tiffani Faison first came into the public eye when competing on the first season of Bravo’s hit show Top Chef, where she placed as the runner-up. In 2010, Tiffani became Executive Chef of Rocca Kitchen & Bar in Boston, Massachusetts and garnered a glowing three-star review from The Boston Globe just several months after revamping the restaurant’s menu. She also returned to Bravo’s Top Chef All-Stars in 2010 as one of eighteen chefs invited to compete.
In the fall of 2011, Faison opened Sweet Cheeks to bring her Southern-Style take on barbecue to Boston. Sweet Cheeks has since become a destination in Boston’s Fenway neighborhood. The menu sees Faison smoking meats, Texas-style and with New England wood while drawing inspiration from her love of barbecue, childhood memories of her mother's cooking and extensive travels in the South. Sweet Cheeks received a three-star review from The Boston Globe and was awarded “Boston’s Best Barbecue” by Boston Magazine, Yankee Magazine and The Improper Bostonian in 2012. Her biscuits with honey butter have created addictions around New England and were even deemed “the best in the world” by Forbes.
Tiffani currently hosts “Tiffani’s Taste” every other Monday on New England Cable News’ "The Morning Show." She has been a guest multiple times on the NBC TODAY Show as well as a guest appearance on PBS' Simply Ming. She has been a contributing chef to numerous cookbooks and has been featured in such national outlets as SELF, Entertainment Weekly, People and Food & Wine.

What is the VIP Experience?
This ticket allows you to enter the Grand Tasting through an exclusive entrance that provides you immediate access to the show floor. You will also receive Degustazione White wine glass from Riedel from which you can sample the many wines available for you for your tasting pleasure.
