As The Mansions executive chef, Tesar will be responsible for the

As executive chef of rm restaurant, Tesar was responsible for food and

the original three-star rm restaurant in New York. Tesar first joined
Moonen in the New York restaurant before moving west in 2005 to assist with
the Las Vegas location.
"John has mastered the art of accentuating the quality of the main
ingredient through perfect cooking technique and allowing the combination
of supporting flavors to raise the overall experience to a level of perfect
harmony," said Rick Moonen, chef and owner of rm restaurant. "I am
confident that this challenge will allow him to rise to be recognized as
one of the finest chefs in the world."
An accomplished chef, Tesar has spent more than 15 years overseeing the
kitchens of many critically-acclaimed restaurants in New York, such as 44 &
X Hells Kitchen, Vine, 13 Barrow Street, The Supper Club and The Inn at
Quogue in the Hamptons. He has served as personal chef for high-profile
clients, such as Giorgio Armani and Mariah Carey.
After pursuing a liberal arts degree at New York University, Tesar
moved to Paris for classical French culinary training at the prestigious La
Varenne Ecole de Cuisine. He returned to the Hamptons and ventured into his
first foray as chef-owner at the three-star Hampton Square Restaurant. New
York magazine food critic Gael Green called him "a bright new talent in a
city already bursting with talent."
Throughout his career, Tesar has participated as a chef host of special
dining events for the James Beard Foundation. He has appeared on The Today
Show, Ready Set Cook, Chef du Jour and Good Day New York. He has also been
named a Top Rated American Chef in the Zagat Restaurant Survey.
"John Tesar is truly an extraordinary chef," said Krige. "His global
expertise and New York roots will add a new dimension to The Mansion on
Turtle Creek."
