World-renowned New York restaurateur, Philippe Chow, along with celebrity partners, including New York Knick Chauncey Billups, Miami Heat player Alonzo Mourning, Forbes Top 400 Richest Americans Stewart Rahr, FriendFinder Owner Marc Bell, Denver Nugget player Al Harrington, and former Pittsburgh Steeler’s running back Jerome “The Bus” Bettis are busy preparing for the grand reopening of the celebrated Philippe Miami at its new Ocean Drive location. With his fifth location, Chow brings his highly-praised classic Chinese cuisine with a Haute flair to the beloved vacation destination.

Famous for its delicious offerings as well as its A-list clientele (which includes Rihanna, Al Gore, Beyonce, David Bowie, Lady Gaga, Matt Damon, Oprah, among many others), Philippe’s exponential success in today’s difficult economic climate is a true testament to Chow’s creative talents and business sense.  With 25 years in the culinary industry, Chow, a Chinese national, began his career by learning about Chinese cooking in Hong Kong in his late teens.  As his passion for and skill in Chinese cooking grew, he was able to land a coveted position at New York City’s Mr. Chow (no relation) in 1980, helping the restaurant become one of the city’s top dining spots.  After 25 years at Mr. Chow, Philippe Chow set out to open his own restaurant in the Upper East Side, to wild success and critical acclaim.

Building on the original Philippe’s success, the company expanded to new locations to meet the extraordinary demand for its exclusive dishes, and if Philippe’s present success is any indication, its triumphant presence in the upscale dining scene will only continue to grow.
