About Me

THIS IS THE TYLER FLORENCE MYSPACE FAN CLUB
We know Tyler is an extremely busy man and cannot run a MySpace on top of all of the other things he's groovin with.
TYLER DOES NOT HAVE A MYSPACE.
He is aware of ours, but he does not run a MySpace himself. If someone tells you different, don't believe it.

TYLER FLORENCE-THE OFFICIAL WEBSITE
A brief history of the man...
Having traveled across the country to help everyday people with their cooking challenges, Tyler Florence has developed a unique perspective on how Americans like to eat and cook today. He is a champion for uncomplicated recipes, bright flavors and fresh food, which he believes is the type of cooking that comes from a "real kitchen"-–a place dedicated to culinary honesty.
Tyler has received acclaim from the national culinary community for his creativity and dedication to the art of cooking. He has been recognized as a leading chef by publications such as Food & Wine, GQ, The Wall Street Journal, USA Weekend and People.
In 1991, Tyler graduated with honors from the College of Culinary Arts at Johnson & Wales University in South Carolina. After relocating to New York City in 1992, he honed his culinary skills under the tutelage of some of the city's premier chefs, including Charlie Palmer at Aureole, Marta Pulini at Mad 61 and Rick Laakonen at River Cafe. Confident of his culinary talent, Tyler accepted the Executive Chef's position at Cibo in 1995, where his original creations received applause from numerous New York City publications, such as The New York Times, New York Magazine and Crain's New York Business.
In 1998, Tyler opened the critically acclaimed Cafeteria in Manhattan as Executive Chef; under his direction, the restaurant received a nomination for Best New Restaurant in Time Out New York.
While firmly establishing his reputation and credibility on the New York food scene, Tyler also made his television debut in 1996 with guest appearances on Food Network. Tyler’s national appeal was confirmed with the launch of Food 911 in 1999. He also has hosted other Food Network shows, including Tyler's Ultimate, Planet Food, All American Festivals and My Country, My Kitchen. Tyler is a regular on NBC's The Today Show and has appeared on The View, Rosie, E! and Access Hollywood, among others. Tyler has written Tyler Florence's Real Kitchen and Eat This Book: Cooking with Global Fresh Flavors. From FOOD NETWORK

My Interests



Tyler Florence Chef's White Collection

Celebrity chef Tyler Florence turns his attention from cooking to serving with Mikasa. This is a collection of dinnerware and serveware as creative as his cuisine. Inspired by antiques that Tyler has collected throughout Europe, his tableware mixes and matches classic forms, all made traditionally by coating black-colored stoneware with a pure white glaze.

I'd like to meet:

All passionate Culinary Addicts.

"Being a chef on television for the last ten years has given me a lot of insight on the way America really likes to eat, and when Applebee’s invited me to be a part of the team, I jumped at the opportunity," said Florence. "Being a chef in New York City, to ask everyone to come to me sometimes is a bit limiting, but to actually bring my food to the American people – I’m really excited about it."
