Our new Executive chef’s signature wood-fired pizza will be welcomed by all!
Gilded Tomato announces Jori Rieben as our new Executive Chef, great news for the wood-fired pizza lover. Jori Rieben’s culinary philosophy is simple; cook what you love to eat. And what does Chef Rieben love to eat? Clean, seasonal food with a French flair, an all-American sensibility, and a playful nod to his Swiss roots. Born in Spring Valley, New York, Rieben moved with his family to his parent’s native land of Switzerland when he was 10 years old. “We relocated because my father’s job was transferred. He’s a banker, but we knew him at home as the one who does the cooking”. Rieben was fascinated by his father’s natural ability to feed scores of friends and extended family members effortlessly while enjoying himself, as well. The young Rieben was hooked on the joy and camaraderie of cooking and began assisting his father during meals, learning the basics.” culture.
