Discover famous restaurants like Caio Castro and Luisa Sonza in SP

The success of culinary programs led to stardom a series of professionals who were already famous in the gastronomic world, but who expanded their names in the public’s knowledge. Among them, Paola Carosella, Erick Jacquin, Henrique Fogaça, Bela Gil, Claude Troisgros, Helena Rizzo, Olivier Anquier and Rodrigo Oliveira are just some of those who migrated from the kitchen to TV.

But the reverse path has also happened. Famous names for their work on TV, sports or music are also behind restaurants, bars and coffee shops, although not necessarily in the kitchen. From Garrincha and Elza Soares in the 1970s to actor Milhem Cortaz, owner of the bakery Cortaz O Pão, the movement has become increasingly common.
