Hosea Rosenberg

We caught up with Blackbelly Market executive chef and owner Hosea Rosenberg before his James Beard Foundation event next week to discover why he's excited to come back to the James Beard House this year, who he'd love to have dinner with if he could, and much more.

The restaurant business is a notoriously hard one. The job is physically demanding, hours are long, and shifts fall on nights and weekends, when everyone else is off. Most people wouldn’t call this fun. But Hosea Rosenberg isn’t most people — and not just because he’s one of the rare souls to win Bravo’s Top Chef.
