Mini bio
Family first.
Nick traces his love of cooking to time spent with his grandmother and great-grandmother, learning from their handwritten recipes. At Harvard, he built a special concentration called Food and Climate and gained experience in restaurant kitchens, including Benu in San Francisco.
The television beginning.
While still a Harvard student in 2019, Nick reached the MasterChef season 10 finale and finished third. He later told WIRED that he began posting videos consistently around late 2020.
A kitchen with room for everyone.
His work now spans cooking lessons, food challenges and collaborations. Knife Drop arrived in June 2023 with a foreword by Gordon Ramsay. He launched the recipe-focused Nick’s Kitchen channel in January 2025, and in 2026 joined Alex Guarnaschelli as a judge on 100 Cooks.
