Amanda Catenaccio Chef

Fans of food shows, celebrity chef competitions, and morning TV might easily recognize Amanda Catenaccio, CulinArt’s Executive Chef at Kering Americas in Wayne, N.J. That’s because she has appeared on Fox’s “Hell’s Kitchen” season 11 and on a “Good Day New York” cooking segment with Rosanna Scotto; she even took the top prize in a Celebrity Chef Cook-off that raised money for breast cancer.

Amanda was also the former executive catering chef in NYC at ABC/Disney, cooking for the cast, crew, and on-air talent for the shows filmed on site. Amanda also had the pleasure of cooking for Tamron Hall’s premiere party.

Amanda is also a former culinary arts instructor where she taught for 4 years at The Star Career Academy in Newark, N.J. In March 2020, she brought her expertise into leading dining services at Kering, the U.S. arm of a French conglomerate of luxury fashion, jewelry, and eyewear brands (think Gucci, Saint Laurent, Boucheron). When Amanda is not cooking or thinking about food, she can easily be found at a good craft brewery or driving her oversized Jeep Wrangler through the mud!
