“Keep the technique serious.
Keep the food honest.”
THE CHEF
A New York cook with Greek blood.
George “Chef G” Georgiades grew up in Chelsea, Manhattan, cooking alongside his mother in her Greek catering business. After Johnson & Wales, he built his career in demanding New York kitchens and kept expanding his point of view abroad.
His path includes Le Bernardin, La Côte Basque, training in Basel, Switzerland, the Hudson River Club, Bar Six, Chez Es Saada, Avra and Varka. In Mexico, he taught and helped open a culinary school in Puebla.
That mix — classical technique, Greek simplicity, restaurant instinct and a little irreverence — still defines the way he cooks today.
THE JOURNEY
Not a résumé.
A life in kitchens.
Basel
European training that broadened technique and sharpened a young chef’s point of view.
Hudson River Club · Bar Six · Chez Es Saada
Years spent learning how to lead a kitchen, not just work in one.
Avra · Varka
Seafood, olive oil, lemon, herbs and the confidence to let good ingredients speak.
Teaching in Puebla
Teaching cooks and helping open a culinary school — passing technique forward.
SQ Pizza · EONS · Chef G
Restaurants, recipe development, teaching and telling the story behind the food.
CURRENT OBSESSION
SQ
Roman pizza, through a chef’s eyes.
SQ Pizza grew from George’s obsession with the pizza of Rome: light, airy dough, crisp edges, long fermentation and a bakery mentality. It is chef-driven food without the stiffness — made to be seen, shared and eaten with your hands.
