TEDxPhilly - Michael Solomonov - A chef's story

Michael Solomonov shares his journey from a childhood in Pittsburgh, a stop in Israel, and to present day, where he is creating very successful restaurants in Philadelphia.

He's an award-winning chef and, some say, owner of one of the best restaurants in America. Michael Solomonov is co-owner of the Israeli restaurant Zahav, the Mexican themed Xochitl, and has just opened Percy Street Barbecue.

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TED has created a program called TEDx. TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. Our event is called TEDxPhilly, where x = independently organized TED event.

At our TEDxPhilly event, TEDTalks video and live speakers will combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events, including ours, are self-organized.
