BILL ZUCOSKY is Chef de Cuisine at Strip House, the top steakhouse, in Livingston, NJ, housed within the luxurious Westminster Hotel.

Zucosky presents Strip House's signature steakhouse classics with a deft touch and considers his personal cooking style to be an "eclectic" American with classic technique. Zucosky's passion for the outdoors has developed his steak grilling since his childhood. A native of Linden, NJ, who enjoys using fresh local ingredients, he is a true local chef, having previously worked at The Frog and the Peach in New Brunswick, NJ, and Hamilton Park in Florham Park, NJ.

A classic steakhouse chef, Zucosky's favorite foods to cook have always been meat and seafood, the cornerstones of the business. The young chef works closely with Strip House Executive Chef John Schenk to create specials that showcase his creativity and accent the brand. Zucosky is in demand for his popular cooking demos in venues across the state, from Bloomingdale's to Williams-Sonoma. It's his commitment to quality and consistency that earned and maintained Strip House's 3 1/2 stars in the New Jersey Star-Ledger and the Four Diamond rating at the Westminster Hotel.
