Johnny Ciao, also known as The Culinary Rocker, is an American celebrity chef from New York. Johnny Ciao did not get his start in the culinary world like most chefs. Working as a personal manager, concert promoter and entertainment marketing executive, he always prepared meals for his celebrity clients. He began his radio career at WRXB in St. Petersburg, Florida. Johnny then moved to Atlanta promoting live jazz concerts with acts including Stanley Turrentine, Jimmy Smith, Woody Shaw and Ramsey Lewis, to name a few. He then launched a communications firm managing bands and well-known personalities including baseball great Hank Aaron, Music Legend Isaac Hayes and others. After moving to San Francisco, Ciao took his culinary talent to new levels. His encounter with legendary concert promoter Bill Graham brought him in direct contact with the Grateful Dead, Carlos Santana, Huey Lewis, Buddy Miles, Chris Isaak and many other music greats. He created backstage food and went on to cook for many of these artists one on one in their homes, at recording studios, on the road and various locations. Ciao was even hired to create healthy, fun meals for Michael Jackson.
