The Full Story
FROM DISHWASHER TO EXECUTIVE CHEF
Tomasz Wosiak has been in the culinary arts business for thirty years; opening his first restaurant at the age of nineteen while still in culinary school in Poland. As a classically trained chef, he loved taking traditional Polish flavors and integrating them with surrounding European cuisines. After arriving in the state of Ohio in his early twenties with his wife Laura, two suitcases, and $40, Chef Tomasz struggled to find employment. He spoke very little English, and was denied work as a dishwasher at fast food restaurants. But through his character and determination was able to find an entry level job that quickly led to an executive chef role within a year!
"CHEF TO THE STARS"
Tomasz is the Vice President of Culinary Development and Corporate Executive Chef at the TC Restaurant Group where he has created nationally recognized menus and has helped Nashville become a leading culinary scene. He is known for his modern European cuisine, fused with a southern flare and for introducing Tex-Mex to Broadway.
His work creating menus within the country music industry for Luke Bryan, Jason Aldean, Miranda Lambert, and Florida Georgia Line has earned him the nickname "Chef to the Stars". Tomasz has been featured on CBS, People Magazine, E! Entertainment, Extra, and ESPN.
FAMILY AND FREE TIME
Tomasz lives in Nashville with his wife Laura and their youngest son, Max, while their oldest son, Aiden, is away at Ohio University.

When he's not in the kitchen or with his family, Tomasz is an avid deep sea fisherman, Lego enthusiast, FC Barcelona's #1 fan, and enjoys ice baths and practicing breathwork after having studied with Wim Hof in Poland.
