Enjoy a meal in Chef Marc Forgione's new restaurant with 12 friends.

Chef Marc Forgione is the chef/owner of Restaurant Marc Forgione and Peasant. He began his career at the age of 16 by joining his father, Larry Forgione, in the kitchen at An American Place. Marc opted for a traditional four-year education at the University of Massachusetts Amherst, where he graduated from the School of Hotel and Restaurant Management. He spent his summers working the line at restaurants in New York, with chef Kazuto Matsusaka. In an effort to diversify his experience, Forgione left for France, where he worked at three of the region's finest restaurants, Le Pres D'Eugenie, Ferme aux Grives and Le Cuisine Minceur. Upon his return to New York, Forgione promptly reunited with Tourondel, who invited the now seasoned chef to serve as chef de cuisine at BLT Prime. Forgione was later named corporate chef for the BLT Restaurant Group, a position that enabled him to expand the BLT brand across the country. He is opening a new restaurant in Greenwich Village this spring.
