Richie Farina Biography

Richie is a sous chef at one of the most forward-thinking restaurants in the country, Moto in Chicago. Born in Staten Island, NY, he grew up in Florida in a large Italian family, so food has always played a big part in his life. Before going to Johnson & Wales University in Rhode Island, Richie began his culinary career flipping pizzas. While in school, he won the National Collegiate Ice Carving Championship three years in a row. He then went on to work in Boston for a few years honing his craft, before ending up in the Windy City. He inspires to create dishes never seen before and to make an experience instead of just food.

Farina's popularity grew when he was on Season 9 of Bravo's trendy Top Chef program. He said cooking shows are gaining steam because everyone can relate to food no matter your culture or where you live.

Richie is skilled in the world of molecular gastronomy, where science meets cooking and the results are mind game treats you can eat.

Richie Farina Reviews

  • My family and I attended a food demonstration hoping to learn better ways to prepare dinners, and special meals for family and friends. What we found was a dynamic speaker, who as he prepared amazing foods, talked us through the ideas that he presented in his dishes. Everyone in attendance was drawn into his stories of the kitchens he worked in, as well as his approach to food preparation. We each wanted the next dish he was preparing. We enjoyed learning how it was prepared. But, we understood that with each dish, our time together was running shorter. I left there that night with new ideas for preparing dinners. But, I also know there is a lot more to know. Not only about preparing meals, but about Richie and his approach to life.
