NEW YORK, NY and
LOUISVILLE, KY, March 20, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Two Twelve
Management / BEST announced today the signing of three notable
celebrity and globally recognized chefs as clients: Tyler Florence, Amanda
Freitag and Grace
Ramirez.
Two Twelve Management is based in New York City and is one of the premier,
full-service chef representation management, advisory and
consultancy companies in the industry, focused on representing a
diverse group of chefs and culinary stars. Two Twelve was
established in 2004. Notable clients include Anne Burrell, Marc
Murphy, Michael Symon, and
Geoffrey Zakarian amongst
others.
Blue Equity currently owns and operates representation
firms in entertainment, media, broadcast news, sports and culinary
arts. This acquisition furthers the company's growth in this
area.
Tyler Florence
After 20 years as a host on the Food Network, Tyler has
captivated millions of viewers on numerous hit shows including
"Worst Cooks in America," "The Great Food Truck Race," and "Come
Back Kitchen." Tyler's insatiable quest for what's current and
interesting in the food space has always kept him on the forefront
of new trends, gaining him a large social media following and
making him an influencer, a role he has always comfortably
inhabited.
Amanda Freitag
Through her work in professional restaurant kitchens, as a food
television personality and now author, Amanda Freitag has become more than a chef, she
is "The Chef Next Door." While the moniker is derived from the
title of Amanda's first cookbook, The Chef Next Door: A Pro
Chef's Recipes for Fun, Fearless Home Cooking (Houghton
Mifflin; 2015), it also aptly conveys both her professionalism and
warm, accessible personality. These traits have served her well as
a judge on Food Network's hit
series, "Chopped," and as the co-host of Food
Network's "American Diner Revival" with Ty
Pennington.
Grace Ramirez
The Miami-born chef, cookbook
author and TV personality was a former producer and director who
spent a decade working in TV, first at kids' channel Nickelodeon,
then MTV and finally the Food Network. The kitchen called, so Grace
made the life-changing decision to quit her job on the network's
biggest show, "Throwdown with Bobby
Flay," and competed on the first series of "MasterChef
USA." Grace moved to New Zealand, where she was a judge on "My
Kitchen Rules New Zealand," and her show "Destino Con Sabor" was
the first local production for Food Network Latin America. Her
second cookbook is coming out this spring.
Scott R. Feldman, Founder and
President of Two Twelve Management stated "I am so pleased to
announce the addition of such outstanding and talented clients to
our platform. We look forward to continuing to build our
clients and their brands as they expand into a myriad of new areas
of activation and audiences worldwide."
