Bio

Toby Young is a British journalist and the author of How to Lose Friends and Alienate People, the tale of his stint in New York as a contributing editor at Vanity Fair magazine.

A food writer as well as a journalist, Young served as a regular judge in seasons five and six of the Emmy Award-winning television show Top Chef.

In 1991, Young founded and edited the Modern Review with Julie Burchill and her then-husband Cosmo Landesman. Young moved to New York in 1995 to work for Vanity Fair, where he was a contributing editor until 1998.

Now back in London, Young is an associate editor of The Spectator and a special correspondent for GQ. For five years, he served as the restaurant critic of the Evening Standard magazine.

Young has appeared as a judge on a variety of food reality programs, including Hell's Kitchen, Kitchen Criminals and a 20-part BBC series called Eating With The Enemy.

In addition, he was a contestant on Come Dine With Me, a popular Channel 4 reality show, which he won.

He has performed in the West End in a stage adaptation of How to Lose Friends and Alienate People, and, in 2005, co-wrote a sex farce called Who's the Daddy? that was named Best New Comedy at the 2006 Theatregoers' Choice Awards.

He co-produced the film version of How to Lose Friends & Alienate People which was released worldwide in 2008.

He lives in West London with his wife and four children.
