From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Maurice Gorodesky was a chef who worked primarily in Cincinnati, Ohio.[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8]

Gorodesky was a "renowned" chef working at the Hotel Ritz in Paris.[9][10] In 1950 the Comisar family "lured him" to Cincinnati to lead their new French fine-dining restaurant, The Maisonette.[9][11][12] He left The Maisonette in 1956 to open Pigall's.[9][12] Both restaurants were awarded five stars from Mobil for many years.

He was in 1966 credited by a group of other 5-star chefs as "single-handedly importing French cuisine to Ohio."[9]
