Chef Eric Adjepong hosts Wildcard Kitchen and Alex vs. America on Food Network. A first-generation Ghanaian American, he was born and raised in New York City and became known for introducing West African cuisine to the mainstream culinary conversation, alongside the impact its diaspora has had on South American, Latin American, Caribbean, and American food. After graduating with degrees in Culinary Arts & Nutrition from Johnson & Wales, Eric went on to obtain his Master of Public Health in International Public Health & Nutrition from the University of Westminster in London. From there, he cooked in several Michelin-starred restaurants before taking his talents to Top Chef. He was a finalist on season sixteen and competed on Top Chef All-Stars. Now, viewers can catch him across Food Network, with appearances on Selena + Chef, Chopped, Guy’s Grocery Games, Supermarket Stakeout, Tournament of Champions, and more. He has partnered with brands such as AYO Foods, Bowery, Tanqueray, and has a longstanding commitment to organizations like Save the Children, of which he will soon be a global ambassador. Eric’s first children’s book, Sankofa: A Culinary Story of Resilience and Belonging, was published by Penguin Workshop in 2023, and he is currently penning his debut cookbook with Clarkson Potter, set to release in 2024.
