Grant Achatz was born on April 25, 1974 in Michigan. His father was the owner of a restaurant in St.Clair, Michigan, where Achatz got his first-hand experience in cooking since when he was a teenager. Achatz has always been interested in cooking so he enrolled in “The Culinary Institute of America”. He was a very talented student, and he started to show his ability from the very beginning.
Achtaz was married to Angela Snell, but they got divorced in 2006, due to some misunderstandings in their relationship. After divorcing his wife, he did not remarry and went on to live a single life focusing more on his restaurants and his cooking career.
In 2007, Achtaz announced that he was diagnosed with squamous cell carcinoma which is a stage 4 cancer. This led to his fans and family members in a state of worry as they thought that he might lose his taste buds but after a year of medical procedures, he was cancer-free.
