Daniel Humm is a chef, author, speaker, and owner of Daniel Humm Hospitality, the New York-based group behind Eleven Madison Park, Clemente Bar, Eleven Madison Home, and HUMM. A native of Switzerland, Humm earned his first Michelin star at 24 and has since become one of the world’s most celebrated chefs. Eleven Madison Park has received numerous accolades: four stars from The New York Times, seven James Beard Awards, three Michelin stars for more than 13 consecutive years, and the top spot on The World's 50 Best Restaurants list. The restaurant also became a proud member of Relais & Châteaux in 2011, a natural fit given the association’s commitment to excellence and sustainability.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, Humm transformed Eleven Madison Park into a commissary kitchen in partnership with Rethink Food, preparing more than one million meals for frontline workers and underserved communities. In 2021, he reopened Eleven Madison Park with a fully plant-based menu, making history as the first and only plant-based restaurant to earn three Michelin stars in October 2022. The restaurant continues to evolve while advancing Humm's vision for a more sustainable future of dining.

Beyond the kitchen, Humm advocates for sustainable and equitable food systems. He has spoken at global forums, including the UN Climate Change Conference (2021) and Global Citizen Summit (2023), alongside world leaders. In 2024, he was appointed UNESCO Goodwill Ambassador for Food Education. His books include Eleven Madison Park: The Cookbook, Eat More Plants, and his children's book* Daniel's Dream.* Through his work, Humm continues to redefine luxury dining as purpose-driven and impactful.
