Early life and educationTower was born in 1942, in Stamford, Connecticut.{{Citation needed|date=June 2018}} The son of a managing director of an international film sound equipment company.{{Citation needed|date=June 2018}} He was educated at Saint Ignatius' College, Riverview in Sydney, Australia; Parkside School, Surrey, England; Loomis Chaffee, Connecticut. He went to college at Harvard University earning a B.A. and then completed his M.A. at Harvard Graduate School of Design. After earning a master's degree in Architecture from Harvard University, he had intended to pursue design of underwater structures in Hawaii,[2] because of his obsession with finding the lost city of Atlantis. After his grandfather died, Tower, who was used to being taken care of and supported, found himself out of money and in need of employment.[2] Culinary careerInspired by a berry tart he had eaten at the then-unknown Chez Panisse restaurant in Berkeley, California, he applied for a job there in 1972.[2] Alice Waters and her partners hired him for his demonstrable skills and brazenness when it came to recreating great French traditional food. Within a year, he became an equal partner with Waters and the others. He was in full charge of the kitchen, the writing of the menus, and the promotion of the restaurant.[2] Tower left Chez Panisse in 1978,[2] after philosophical and business disagreements with the majority of the Board and with Waters in particular (she and they rejected his idea to open a Panisse Cafe).{{Citation needed|date=April 2017}} He worked at the Ventana Inn at Big Sur beginning 1978, and taught briefly in 1980 at the California Culinary Academy.{{Citation needed|date=June 2018}} He went on in 1981 to revive the dying Balboa Cafe in San Francisco, at the time, the restaurant was owned by Cathe and Doyle Moon.[2] In 1982, he became head chef at Santa Fe Bar and Grill, located in Berkeley, California and also owned by the Moons.[2] Santa Fe Bar and Grill was a restaurant that was later a springboard for fellow Chez Panisse-alum, Mark Miller, to open the Coyote Cafe in Santa Fe, New Mexico and a string of Southwestern-themed restaurants throughout the United States.{{cn|date=December 2017}} In 1984, Tower opened his own restaurant, Stars, in San Francisco, in partnership with Cathe and Doyle Moon.[2] Stars was among the top-grossing restaurants in the Bay Area.[3] Tower opened branches of Stars restaurant in Oakville (Napa Valley), Palo Alto, Manila, and Singapore.{{cn|date=December 2017}} Numerous American chefs worked at Stars, among them Mark Franz (Farallon), Mario Batali, George Francisco (Voodoo Bacon), Mark Gaier and Clark Frasier (Arrows', MC Perkins Cove) Loretta Keller (Bizou/Coco500), Joey Altman (Bay Cafe/Wild Hare), Michael Shrader (N9NE), Brendan Walsh (Arizona 206, Elms Inn), Chris Colburn (The Chanticleer, Dalvay by the Sea), and Ron Garrido (Avalon in Eureka), as well as pastry chefs Tim Grable, Emily Luchetti, and Jerry Traunfeld.[2] He owned the Peak Cafe in Hong Kong in the 1990s,[12] as well as various related ventures in San Francisco including a more casual cafe, an upscale bistro, and a kitchenware shop. As his fame grew he licensed his name out, and began to earn celebrity endorsement contracts, including one for Dewar's Scotch. In 1998, Tower sold a part interest in the Stars restaurants to a Singapore real estate company.[4] The new owners closed the Stars restaurants after two years of operation.{{Citation needed|date=June 2018}} Tower moved to Manila, Philippines for a year, then to New York City for four years, followed by a move to Italy and then Mexico. In 2014, he was hired as executive chef of Tavern on the Green in New York City, but he left in April 2015, after six months.[5] FilmographyIn 2016, the biographical documentary Jeremiah Tower: The Last Magnificent, by Anthony Bourdain and Zero Point Zero productions, premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival. The 100-minute film was bought by The Orchard for US distribution in the spring of 2017.[6] On November 12, 2017 the film was broadcast on CNN.[7][8] In 2017, Tower appeared on Top Chef, the Rick Stein TV show “Road to Mexico” for BBC, the CRAVE wine and food festival, Spokane, Washington, guest of honor at Chef’s Roll, Miami Beach, and as a judge at the Basque Culinary Center World Awards, Mexico City.{{cn|date=November 2017}} Previous restaurantsA list of previous restaurants Tower was associated with.
