Philippe - Miami Beach

Located within the Miami Beach's luxurious Gansevoort South hotel, an exquisite Asian cuisine is to be discovered thanks to celebrated New York City chef-proprietor Philippe Chow.

Mr. Philippe Chow was born in China in 1958 and went to Hong Kong when he was 16 years old. Philippe spent 5 years learning all the Chinese basic cooking skills and worked in various kitchens in Hong Kong. Philippe came to the United States in 1979 and started working in the kitchen of Mr. Chow located in Manhattan, New York in 1980.

During his 29 years at Mr. Chow, Philippe was fortunate to have the opportunity to learn and work with some of the best chefs including Steven Yim, one of the most well recognized 'Dim Sum' chefs in the world and Lam Shak Chug, whom was also the head chef and kitchen manager for Mr. Chow for 38 years.

Philippe became one of the prominent chefs in 2002 and contributed great success to Mr. Chow as one of the best eateries in Manhattan. Philippe demonstrated his 'hand pulled' noodle skills on a network cooking show in 1999 and was well received by the audience.

Philippe has been collected quite the acclaims, including Zagat Survey's 2010 "Best in Chinese" and Miami Herald's "Best Peking Duck in Miami."
