John Malik is a James Beard nominated chef, successful restaurateur, and food & travel writer. He’s achieved many highlights in his culinary career, from turning a defunct pizza parlor into an award-winning restaurant, making chocolate bars from fresh cacao beans in Belize, Central America, a Food & Travel writer for the Huff Post, published author, and a host of appearances on the Food Network.

John helped redefine our operations and business plan through his industry expertise and connections, creative problem solving and change management skills.

John made a world of difference not only in our dining operation but in leadership development throughout our community. He brought a fresh set of eyes and a positive attitude and worked tirelessly to streamline the operation from training manuals, inventory and ordering systems and a host of other initiatives that made the operation very efficient and resident satisfaction focused.

John's special events and private dinners were always a first class experience

Chef John Malik just completed a round of restaurant consulting for our organization (Upstate Warrior Solution) and did a phenomenal job. He has a wealth of experience in the industry and is straightforward and professional. I highly recommend Chef Malik's service!

John was a valuable asset in onboarding our chefs for the new role and in the company.

John is a fantastic and creative chef.

Whenever I needed to impress, really impress a client or my wife I would call on John's talents to fit the occasion.

John has always surprised us with a fantastic dinner whenever we eat at his restaurant. His creativity, attention to detail and passion for organic, locally grown food made us come back over and over.
