Chef Michael Silverstein.
Michael was just recently crowned Runner-up on the All-star season of MasterChef with Gordon Ramsay! After beating out tens of thousands of competitors on Season 10 of MasterChef on FOX, he returned to battle on MasterChef Season 12, proving once again that he is one of the best cooks in America!
When Chef Michael Silverstein hit 350 pounds, he had hit rock bottom. Michael had left his career as a chef, and had given up on himself completely. That's when everything changed. Chef Michael decided that 'enough is enough'. He lost over 80 pounds in one year while sharing his recipes online, and quickly got noticed by many, including Gordon Ramsay. Just four years later, he is now a three-time bestselling cookbook author, was just crowned the runner-up on the All Star season of MasterChef, and has garnered over 600,000 followers on social media!
His life changed once he decided to finally love himself, and he works hard to help others do the same. Michael has openly shared his journey to health and wellness, inspiring millions of people around the world. As an out gay man, he fights for equality through extensive charity work, and loudly voices his belief that everyone, at any size, shape, identity, age, or race, deserves an equal chance at living their best life. Michael works tirelessly to help others find strength and confidence, both in and out of the kitchen.
In addition to his two appearances on MasterChef, Michael has been featured on E! News, Hallmark Channel, PEOPLE Magazine, New York Post, National Examiner, Closer Weekly, Ok! Magazine, Out Front, Delish, Medium, the FeedFeed, Newsweek, Good Morning America, NPR, and more!
When he’s not in the kitchen, Michael enjoys sipping on espresso (or mezcal!), gardening, DIY projects, playing piano, traveling, and exploring the L.A. food scene. He lives in Los Angeles with his fiance, Jacob, their rescue dog Meelo, and Duchess the cat.
Be sure to pick up a copy of any of his three cookbooks wherever books are sold!
