Timothy Hollingsworth

Timothy Hollingsworth was born in Houston, Texas. In 1980, his parents, Karen and Quintin Hollingsworth, relocated with their five children to Placerville, California. Raised in a Southern Baptist household, his upbringing emphasized both religion and family meals. During his tenure, Hollingsworth staged at several top European kitchens in France, Germany, and England, working under chefs such as Gordon Ramsay, Michel Rostang, and Alain Senderens. In 2012, he left The French Laundry and moved to Los Angeles to pursue independent ventures. He began consulting in the United States, South Korea, and Lebanon. Currently, Hollingsworth is based in Los Angeles and serves as chef partner at Hundredfold, a brasserie in Belmont Park Village developed with Delaware North’s Patina Group that "joyfully reinterprets the classic French brasserie through an American lens." He also co-founded Chain, a pop-up dining concept developed with B. J. Novak and Hollingsworth, which presents upscale reinterpretations of nostalgic American chain-restaurant dishes. == Awards ==
