Introduction Celebrity is much written about by social theorists (McNamara, 2009; Ferri, 2010; Lawler, 2010) and as such there are many taxonomies of celebrity, which Turner (2010) discusses at length. The concept that celebrity is a ‘cultural formation that has a social function’ (Turner, 2010:11), and the contemporary significance of celebrity itself remains a key topic for debate (Couldry and Markham, 2007). Celebrities are considered as role models for millions of people, especially younger citizens (Couldry and Markham, 2007), who are the focus of this study. Pringle (2004:3) suggests that ‘celebrity sells’, and outlines the extent to which society becomes influenced by these figures due to their prevalence in everyday life. Becoming well-known public figures, where they have adversaries as well as fans (Henderson, 2011) celebrities have attracted significant literature, which is split on their benefit and detriment to society (Couldry and Markham, 2007).

A study of celebrity cookbooks, culinary personas, and inequality Jose´e Johnston *, Alexandra Rodney, Phillipa Chong University of Toronto, Department of Sociology, 725 Spadina Avenue, Toronto, Ontario M5S 2J4, Canada ARTICLE INFO ABSTRACT Article history: In this paper, we investigate how cultural ideals of race, class and Available online xxx gender are revealed and reproduced through celebrity chefs’ public identities. Celebrity-chef status appears attainable by diverse voices Keywords: including self-trained cooks like Rachael Ray, prisoner turned high- Food end-chef Jeff Henderson, and Nascar-fan Guy Fieri. This paper Persona investigates how food celebrities’ self-presentations – their culinary Cookbooks personas – relate to social hierarchies. Drawing from literature on Celebrity chefs the sociology of culture, personas, food, and gender, we carry out an Gender inductive qualitative analysis of celebrity chef cookbooks written Inequality by stars with a significant multi-media presence. We identify seven distinct culinary personas: homebody, home stylist, pin-up, chef- artisan, maverick, gastrosexual, and self-made man. We find that culinary personas are highly gendered, but also classed and racialized. Relating these findings to the broader culinary field, we suggest that celebrity chef personas may serve to naturalize status inequities, and our findings contribute to theories of cultural, culinary and gender stratification. This paper supports the use of ‘‘persona’’ as an analytical tool that can aid understanding of cultural inequalities, as well as the limited opportunities for new entrants to gain authority in their respective fields.

  • Max Hardy Executive Chef Entrepreneur Philanthropist Detroiter
    CHEF MAX HARDY EXECUTIVE CHEF ENTREPRENEUR PHILANTHROPIST DETROITER Photo courtesy of AM media Group CHEF MAX HARDY THE BEGINNING Chef Max Hardy got his first taste of the culinary experience in Tampa, Florida, as a student in the culinary arts program at Wharton High School. It was here where he began to show his creative talents, and exceptional culinary skills learned under the ProStart curriculum in high school. Chef Max’s passion and talent for cooking allowed him to matriculate to Johnson & Wales University in Miami, where he expanded on his culinary training. While in college and determined to follow his passion for becoming a world-class chef, Max tapped into his entrepreneurial spirit and started his culinary enterprise - Chef Max Miami. His company specialized in recipes ranging from American, Kosher, French, Asian, to Caribbean cuisine. It’s no surprise Chef Max Miami became a huge success in such a short time. In 2016, lured by the growing reports of Detroit’s comeback, Chef Max left New York City and returned to his hometown Detroit. By 2017 he began work on opening his first restaurant The River Bistro – on Detroit’s westside in the Grandmont-Rosedale neighborhood. In 2018 the Detroit Free Press named River Bistro to its coveted “Top 10 Best New Restaurants” to open in Metro Detroit. Six months following his success at River Bistro, Chef Max began work on his second restaurant COOP Detroit – a fast-casual Caribbean fusion restaurant located inside Detroit Shipping Co. – a food hall constructed from 32 former shipping containers located in Detroit’s Midtown community.

  • THE CELEBRITY CHEF Gail Babilonia
    THE CELEBRITY CHEF Gail Babilonia When we hear the word chef, we imagine a nameless Frenchman dressed in an all-white apron and a tall white hat with ownership rights to a fancy, upscale restaurant. However, today the chef at a well-known restaurant may no longer hidden in the kitchen; well-known chefs can be seen every day on television. The celebrity chef is a recent addition to both the culinary and media worlds. Not too long ago, there were only a few: Julia Child was the most famous, and remains an icon today. Now, however, there are many more chefs to watch on the Food Network. Emeril Lagasse is the most popular, and demonstrates the role that celebrity chefs currently play in our lives. Although a recent addition, celebrity chefs have had a great influence on our culture: they have changed our ideas about celebrity and about the social status of the chef; they have redefined the kind of food ordinary people can have, and transformed the way men feel about cooking. However, the impact of the celebrity chef is one that most of us barely recognize. Few students in a culinary institute expect to use their certification to become a “celebrity chef” or a Food Network television personality. There is far too much hard work involved in becoming a trained chef to have time to think about being a famous one. Tania Ralli, a student currently enrolled student at the French Culinary Institute in New York City, explains: “[W]e were cooking five hours a night, three nights a week, after full days at our regular jobs.
