CHEF GREG VERNICK

Chef
A native of Cherry Hill, New Jersey, Greg Vernick could be found in the kitchen at an early age, thanks to his grandfather owning a Philadelphia butcher shop and his mother owning a restaurant near their hometown. Pursuing his passion for the restaurant industry, he worked extensively with famed chef Jean-Georges Vongerichten. Greg is now an award-winning chef himself, with his own nationally recognized Philadelphia restaurant, Vernick Food & Drink, as well as the new Vernick Fish.

“I'm grateful to open another restaurant in Philadelphia, a city I will forever call home.”
