New Celebrity Chefs at the Borgata

Further strengthening Borgata Hotel Casino & Spa’s position as the leading dining destination in Atlantic City and on the East Coast, Style Network’s “Pantry Raid” personality Michael Schulson and Manhattan’s Country and Town Chef/ Owner Geoffrey Zakarian will join Borgata’s culinary roster of premier chefs this year.

Schulson will open an innovative Japanese restaurant and nightlife experience at the hotel-casino, whereas Zakarian will create and oversee all food & beverage hospitality for the spa, pool, special events and in-room dining for The Water Club, A Signature Hotel by Borgata, opening summer 2008.

“We are elated to have Michael and Geoffrey as the latest additions to Borgata’s team of celebrated chefs and restaurateurs. With a robust lineup of culinary talent under one roof, Borgata continues to solidify its position as a leading dining destination on the East Coast,” says Larry Mullin, President and Chief Operating Officer for Borgata.

Schulson and Zakarian join Borgata chefs Wolfgang Puck (Wolfgang Puck American Grille), Bobby Flay (Bobby Flay Steak), Michael Mina (SEABLUE - A Michael Mina Restaurant), restauranteurs Marc and Greg Sherry of Old Homestead Steakhouse, and restaurants Ombra and Specchio.
