AOS Graduation Speaker: Michael Cimarusti Michael Cimarusti’s mastery of seafood cookery and his knowledge of fish and seafood have earned him international recognition and countless accolades as executive chef and owner of Providence in Los Angeles, CA. Since its inception, Providence has consistently been ranked among the best restaurants by leading critics and publications. It garnered a coveted James Beard Foundation nomination for “Best New Restaurant” in the United States, was included in Esquire magazine’s “Top 20 New Restaurants,” and was named one of the “World’s Top New Restaurants” by Travel + Leisure. In addition, Gourmet called Providence one of the “Top 50 Restaurants in the U.S.,” and in 2009, the restaurant was awarded two Michelin stars. Chef Cimarusti’s passion for and curiosity about food was ignited at a young age by his grandmother, and he knew early on that he wanted to be a chef. As a teenager, he began his culinary journey with a stint as a dishwasher, and then as an apprentice at a bakery and pastry shop. He went on to work in the professional kitchen of a small restaurant in his hometown before heading to The Culinary Institute of America. Upon graduating from the CIA with high honors, Chef Cimarusti landed a job with celebrated chef Larry Forgione ’74 of An American Place in New York City. Chef Forgione was an inspiration to the young Cimarusti because of his use of organic American ingredients. Wanting to hone his classical French cooking skills, Chef Cimarusti next began working at the New York City institution Le Cirque. There, he learned reverence for quality ingredients and refined technique under noted chefs Sottah Khunn and Sylvain Portay. His time at Le Cirque led him to Paris, France, where he apprenticed at Michelin-rated Arpège and La Marée. When Chef Cimarusti returned to New York, his reputation earned him an invitation by the Maccioni family to serve as the opening chef at their new venture, Osteria del Circo.
Looking for a change of scenery, Chef Cimarusti headed to Los Angeles, where he worked with Chef Wolfgang Puck as chef de cuisine at the original Spago in Hollywood. He was soon recruited by the Water Grill to help refine its concept into a world-class fine-dining restaurant, and he quickly garnered rave reviews. Bon Appétit called Chef Cimarusti “a leader of the newest generation of American chefs,” and by the end of his six-year tenure at the helm of Water Grill, he received a glowing 3.5-star review from The Los Angeles Times and a point score of 28 in the Zagat Survey, making the restaurant one of the most popular destinations among Zagat voters. Chef Cimarusti’s many professional honors include being named “2010 Chef of the Year” by Angeleno magazine and being nominated as “Best Chef: Pacific” by the James Beard Foundation in 2010 and 2011. He is an Iron Chef America champion—having bested his respected opponent, Masaharu Morimoto—and was a contestant on Top Chef.

Also called ceriman and Mexican breadfruit, this unique tropical-American fruit looks like a narrow, foot-long pinecone. The thick, green skin has hexagonal scales that individually separate and pop off as the fruit begins to ripen. Inside, the ripe, off-white flesh is formed in segments correlating to the skin’s pattern. It’s creamy-smooth and resembles firm custard. The flavor is sweet tart and reminiscent of pineapple with touches of banana and mango. If underripe, however, the monstera has an off-taste and an irritant that will inflame both mouth and throat. In the United States, the monstera can be found in California, Florida and a few other locales that have produce markets specializing in exotic fruit. The monstera should be ripened at room temperature until the scales pop off and expose the luscious fruit, which is best plucked out and eaten plain with a spoon or fork.
