Michael Solomonov, Chef at Zahav: Dinner for Eight People Michael Solomonov of Zahav is one of the hottest chefs in Philadelphia.  Zahav is the reigning #1 restaurant in Philadelphia as designated by Philadelphia Magazine and nationally is one of the most critically acclaimed restaurants in Philadelphia.  Michael Solomonov was recently nominated as one of the top 5 chefs in the Mid-Atlantic region by the James Beard Foundation and was also named one of the top 5 of Rising Star Chefs in the USA last year (30 years old or younger).  The James Beard awards are the Oscars for Chefs and we are hopeful Michael will get his Oscar this year!  In 2008, Zahav was named by Philadelphia Magazine as the top new restaurant and Esquire Magazine named Zahav one of the top 20 new restaurants in the USA.  You have the option of having Michael Solomonov come to your home or you can host your dinner party at the home of Claudia and Kevin Miller (just show up hungry with your party and we'll do all of the work).  In either venue, this should be a once-in-a-lifetime culinary experience.
