Chris Cosentino

Cockscomb

Chris Cosentino is the chef & co-owner of San Francisco’s celebrated Cockscomb restaurant – alongside partner Oliver Wharton and parent company Delicious MFG & CO – and the chef & co-creator of Boccalone artisanal. Cosentino’s first executive chef position began at Incanto in 2002 where his innovative Italian and whole animal cookery drew critical acclaim. Cosentino opened Cockscomb in 2014, showcasing a range of sustainable meat cuts and dishes inspired by the city’s culinary history, which San Francisco Chronicle restaurant critic Michael Bauer awarded 3 stars, deeming that: “There’s nothing else like it, and Cosentino has a consistent, unwavering vision.”

Cosentino has appeared on Food Network’s “Next Iron Chef America,” “Chefs vs. City,” and BRAVO’s “Top Chef Masters,” earning over $140,000 for The Michael J. Fox Foundation as the season four winner and is currently working on a title dedicated to offal with writer and photographer Michael Harlan Turkell, published by Clarkson Potter.

Cosentino will also debut Acacia House in fall 2016, a new project with business partner Wharton in St. Helena, at the new Las Alcobas Napa Valley.
