Celebrity Chef/Judge Profile
Simon Majumdar
An author, food & travel writer and TV super star, Simon Majumdar was by far one of our most talented and revered judges at the World Food Championships. No one could dissect a dish like he could, and then direct a competitor on how to improve the slightest of things to make their entry the best it could be.
He has traveled to over seventy countries and every state in America following his quest to “Go Everywhere, Eat Everything." He has written two bestselling books cataloging his adventures, “Eat My Globe” (Simon & Schuster 2009) and “Eating For Britain” (Hachette 2010) and is currently promoting his third book, “Fed, White & Blue” which is bound to be another hit.
He has also contributed features to many well known newspapers, magazines and websites, including Ask Men, The London Times, The Guardian, The Daily Beast, The Independent and The Spectator.
As well as his writing, Simon has become well known for his many appearances on The Food Network on shows such as The Next Iron chef, Iron Chef America, Extreme Chef, The Best Thing I Ever Ate, Back in Time For Thanksgiving and, the current hit show, Cutthroat Kitchen.
No doubt he is already planning his next great adventure. We hope to see him often in Florida as WFC settles into its new host city and community!
