The Hunger

The Hunger is an insider's take on the crazy life that is the restaurant business, as well as an underdog's tale of survival. Dissatisfied with his corporate career, John DeLucie followed his passion for food to a single cooking class at the New School (Where he was named Most Likely to Succeed). He launched his first food gig at SoHo's famed Dean DeLuca, then cooked at several New York-area restaurants.

John DeLucie is the Executive Chef/Partner of The Waverly Inn, Which he opened to great critical acclaim in 2007 in Manhattan's Greenwich Village. DeLucie has been featured in New York magazine, Town Country, the New York Times, and on television on the The Martha Stewart Show and CBS's The Early Show Saturday Edition. He lives in New York.
