George Stella

George Stella, Chef, TV Host, and AuthorGeorge Stella's career in the food industry started at a young age while living in Deerfield Beach, Florida and although his first job was as a dishwasher at the age of 13, George quickly found himself working at some of Florida's leading restaurants. In the early 80's he worked as an Executive Chef for the Philips Petroleum Company showcase restaurant, 'Windows on the Green' located in the Pier 66 Hotel in Ft. Lauderdale.

Being obese, George experienced serious heart problems that took him out of the kitchens and threatened his life and his career.
