Josiah Citrin

Coming from the sun-drenched shores of California, USA, we are thrilled to welcome American culinary legend Chef Josiah Citrin to the WGF 2026 stage.

With over 30 years of industry-defining mastery, he brings a unique ability to bridge classical French foundations with a bold, modern Californian soul. Chef Josiah is the force behind Santa Monica’s most prestigious institutions, the two-Michelin-starred Mélisse and the one-Michelin-starred Citrin. We look forward to seeing this multi-starred master in the Capital of Flavours for a performance that promises to be a highlight of our monumental 26th edition.
