Howard "Howie" Kleinberg

Big personality. He made an impact on everyone he met. Fantastic chef. We will always miss him.

On this second anniversary of Howie´s passing, I still remember him as a fun, fabulous chef!

Enjoyed Howie on top chef. He was a great competitor on there.

Rest In Peace. Sincerely. Ms Toby Ginsburg Cohen

I didn't know Howie, but I'm watching old Top Chefs, and Howie touched me so much--his dedication to his work, and his willingness to leave rather than allow Brian to be sent home--it just blew me away. I had to see where he was now, so that hopefully I could visit his restaurant someday. So I Googled, and found this awful news. I cried. I just wanted to let his family know how sorry I am for your loss. He truly seemed like a great guy. May he rest in peace.

Still remember his big personality and fantastic cooking!!!
