Chef, restaurateur, and head judge on “Top Chef,” as well as a New York resident, Tom Colicchio knows food and drink. With six distinct restaurants of his own and an Emmy-award-winning show on his roster, Colicchio has earned multiple food awards and recognitions for his simple, straightforward, and sustainably sourced dishes. From octopus to snapper, from risotto to eggplant parmesan, and from duck to dry-aged steaks, Colicchio serves up a range of tastes and textures fresh from farm to table.
And though Colicchio’s reputation is of a hard exterior, he has a soft spot for the ’90s hit sitcom, “Friends.” Combining his adoration for the show and his passion for great flavors, Colicchio created Central Perk Coffee — a collection of roasted coffees from medium to dark, with names like Pivot Blend, How You Doin’? and We Were on a “Coffee” Break.
Made from Arabica beans, Central Perk Coffee is available as whole beans, ground, and pods. The three main roasts bring rich, bold character with hints of chocolate, honey, blackberry, citrus, caramel, or nutty or smoky undertones. There’s also Gunther! Espresso and for those who don’t want to debate the pros and cons of caffeinated versus decaf, Central Perk Coffee offers you Moo Point (decaf coffee).
But in true “Friends” fashion, Central Perk Coffee aims to bring people together with a brick-and-mortar coffeehouse opening soon in Boston. The cafe will feature a modern twist on the beloved fictional Central Perk where “Friends” memories were made.
