Steven A. Shaw Biography

Steven A. Shaw is a James Beard Award-winning writer and author of Asian Dining Rules: Essential Strategies for Eating Out at Japanese, Chinese, Southeast Asian, Korean and Indian Restaurants and Turning the Tables: The Insider's Guide to Eating Out (both published by William Morrow Cookbooks). A seasoned speaker, he has given diverse talks about many sides of the food industry at universities, food schools, chambers of commerce, as well as the Smithsonian and the prestigious 92nd Street Y in New York City. Shaw has appeared on ABC TV's "Good Morning America," "ABC World News Tonight," Fox TV's "Your World with Neil Cavuto," PBS TV's "A Hot Dog Program," and radio shows across the country.

Shaw's latest book Asian Dining Rules (William Morrow Cookbooks) reveals the strategies for getting the most out of any kind of Asian restaurant: how to order the best stuff, how a customer should conduct themselves, and other tips and tricks for crafting the best meal experience. No matter the level of comfort or knowledge of Asian dining, Shaw has something to teach everyone.

Shaw's previous book Turning the Tables is an exploration and a celebration of the incredibly intricate workings of professional kitchens and dining rooms. He weaves an intriguing tapestry of journalism, opinion, how-to, and social criticism, to deliver an unprecedented look at every aspect of the restaurant community. Shaw provides an unrivaled examination of a world that remains hidden to most - the world behind that swinging kitchen door.

A former attorney who began his second career as a food critic in 1997, Shaw’s writing has appeared in scores of publications. Online he is known as “The Fat Guy” and is the founder and publisher of Fat-Guy.com and the eGullet Society for Culinary Arts & Letters (www.Egullet.org). Offline, he is the food columnist for Elle magazine, and he covers food and culture for Saveur, the New York Times, Crains New York Business, Commentary, New York Lawyer, and many other journals. Named by Food & Wine magazine as one of the 35 most fearsome young talents in food and a Best Food Writing selection many times over, he is insightful, irreverent, and often controversial.

Shaw lives in New York City with his wife and son.
