Michael Solomonov, The Centurion® Lounge Executive Chef, Philadelphia

Mike Solomonov is a beloved champion of Israel's extraordinarily diverse culinary landscape, and the chef widely recognized for bringing Israeli cuisine to diners across the U.S., and around the world. He is Chef of the trailblazing restaurant Zahav, and co-owner of Philadelphia's CookNSolo Restaurants with hospitality entrepreneur, Steve Cook. Solomonov is the co-author of three cookbooks, and the recipient of five James Beard awards including "Outstanding Restaurant" for Zahav, making it the first Israeli-American restaurant to be awarded this great honor. The CookNSolo portfolio also features Federal Donuts, Dizengoff, Goldie, K'Far, Laser Wolf, and Lilah. CookNSolo expanded to Brooklyn in 2022 with much acclaim, bringing grill house sensation Laser Wolf, Israeli bakery & café K’Far, and Jaffa Cocktail & Raw Bar to The Hoxton hotel in Williamsburg. Solomonov is a member of the American Culinary Corps and was appointed by President Biden to the President's Council on Sports, Fitness & Nutrition. Outside of the restaurants, you can often find Mike with Steve at Pho 75 in South Philly, working out the kinks in their Israeli village.

In addition to Zahav, Solomonov co-owns Philadelphia's Federal Donuts, Dizengoff, Abe Fisher, Goldie, Merkaz, K’Far and Laser Wolf, as well as Lilah — a Spring 2022-debuted event venue bringing together 15 years of culinary and hospitality wizardry. In May of 2022, Solomonov brought grill house sensation Laser Wolf, with uninterrupted views of the Manhattan skyline, to Brooklyn on the rooftop of The Hoxton.  Michael Solomonov is also a part of the American Express Global Dining Collection, which offers you special access to reservations and experiences with Card Members’ favorite chefs.
