Rosengarten married Constance Childs on October 15, 1983. Their wedding was catered by a then-unknown Martha Stewart. He has three children. His two daughters, Andrea and Sarah, appeared frequently on Rosengarten's Food Network cooking show, which he called Taste. His son, Bjorn Rosengarten-Bowser, has appeared on Martha Stewart's collaborative "Emeril's Table" cooking show.
Rosengarten attended Colgate University where he earned a B.A. in 1971, holds a doctorate in dramatic literature from Cornell University (1980), and was an assistant professor of theater at Skidmore College.
Rosengarten was a contributing editor for Gourmet Magazine from 1995 to 1999, and was that magazine's New York restaurant critic. He published articles in several US newspapers including the New York Times, the New York Daily News, and the New York Observer, and he was the weekly wine columnist of Newsday.
Other magazines and web sites for whom he has written include Food & Wine, Bon Appetit, Harper’s Bazaar, Departures, The Wine Spectator, Wine & Spirits, and The Wine Enthusiast; currently, he writes for Saveur, the Huffington Post, and Forbes.
From 2001 to 2007, Rosengarten wrote and published The Rosengarten Report, which in 2003 won a James Beard award for "best food and wine newsletter." At its height, The Rosengarten Report had 50,000 paid subscribers.
