Spotlight On Hospitality Entrepreneurs: Max Tucci

from Culinary Confidential with Christina Cates · host Christina Cates

On this week's Culinary Confidential, Christina Cates kicks off her 'Spotlight On Hospitality Entrepreneurs' series by welcoming in Max Tucci - third generation partner and Global Ambassador of Delmonico's, THE restaurant that helped define American fine dining. Since 1837, Delmonico's has shaped the way we eat by introducing dishes such as Demonico Steak, Eggs Benedict, and Baked Alaska while setting early standards for service, wine programs, and the modern dining room. Max brings a rare blend of history, storytelling, and forward-thinking vision to the table. His work honors nearly two decades of tradition while guiding Delmonico's into a new era of hospitality, culture, and global relevance. Beyond Delmonico's, Max also owns TUCCI, his namesake restaurant where elevated Italian cuisine meets warmth, family, and connection. He's also host of Welcome To My Table on LA Talk Radio and author of The Delmonico Way, a deep exploration of timeless hospitality principles and what it truly means to welcome people to the table.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
