What Norah O'Donnell's Husband Really Does For A Living
Over the years, Norah O'Donnell has captivated viewers with her poise and polish on-screen. She's known as a news anchor for CBS and past correspondent for NBC. The journalist has interviewed dozens of high-profile celebrities including Katy Perry, Drew Barrymore, and Prince Harry. With two Emmys under her belt, O'Donnell has achieved a lot. However, O'Donnell has also faced controversy at CBS, due to her alleged toxic behavior behind the scenes. According to the New York Post, she would accuse staff of applying her makeup incorrectly, leaving them in tears. She would also arrange for full "dress rehearsals," which caused plenty of drama. An insider shared, "The rehearsals are an excuse to blow up packages 15 minutes before the show. She changes the words to segments. Everyone has a stroke."
Through the ups and downs of her career, O'Donnell has had the support of her husband, Geoff Tracy, who she met at Georgetown University, per Distractify. The couple has been married since 2001, and has three kids named Henry, Grace, and Riley. As someone in the spotlight, we know a lot about O'Donnell's personal life and career. But what does Tracy do for a living?
Geoff Tracy owns popular restaurants
Geoff Tracy is a renowned restaurateur and chef, per Distractify. He has two restaurants named Chef Geoff's, which are located in Washington D.C. His other restaurant, Lia's, is not too far away from there. He opened the first Chef Geoff's in 2000.
In a 2017 piece by Eater, Tracy discussed his professional success. He said, "It seems like yesterday and also 100 years ago. It's definitely an accomplishment when you live through more than one lease term." Keeping a restaurant afloat is no easy feat, which Tracy is well-aware of. While he's closed some of his restaurants, Chef Geoff's is still going strong. He shared, "I don't think there's a better time to be a diner in Washington. But there's never been a more competitive time to be a restaurant owner because there are so many."
So, what's there to order at Chef Geoff's? The restaurant includes brunch, lunch, and dinner menus. Pizza, burgers, and house-made pasta are just a few categories for customers to choose from. According to Eater, wild mushroom ravioli is the most popular dish.
Geoff Tracy came out with a cookbook
Geoff Tracy has found various ways to share his talents in the kitchen. In 2010, Tracy and Norah O'Donnell teamed up to produce a cookbook called "Baby Love," per People. The book offers simple ways to prepare baby food. Tracy told the outlet, "I share certain techniques in the book that teach people to be faster in the kitchen." O'Donnell explained the benefits of using the cookbook. She said, "I was surprised at how easy it was to make our own [food]." She added, "From a cost perspective, it's less expensive to produce the food than it is to buy the packaged products."
Marrying a chef certainly has its advantages, and O'Donnell isn't taking them for granted. In a 2021 interview with Woman's World, the newscaster shared, "The other night, I came home after a long day and was touched that my husband had dinner waiting for me." While Tracy is dedicated to his career as restaurateur, he also prioritizes being a caring husband who knows how to cook up a tasty meal.
