Early years[edit]
Raised in Newton, Massachusetts, Tony Maws attended the Belmont Hill School, graduating in 1988.[2] After graduating from the University of Michigan[1] with a BA in Psychology and uncertain what he wanted to do, Maws traveled to Europe for a year and upon returning to New England quickly got a job as a waiter in Martha's Vineyard. While working as a waiter Maws wrote to chefs around the U.S. and was hired by Chris Schlesinger to work at the original East Coast Grill.[3]
Craigie on Main[edit]
In 2003, Maws opened Craigie Street Bistrot in Cambridge, Massachusetts, winning several awards and recognitions.[3] In late 2008 Maws moved Craigie Street Bistrot to a larger venue on Main Street in Cambridge, adding a bar and an open kitchen.[4] He also renamed it Craigie on Main.
