Chef Anthony Nichols never dreamt of a life in the kitchen when he was playing football and stickball in the streets of Queens, New York, as a kid. But he now serves as the Culinary Director for Junzi Kitchen and Nice Day Chinese, in addition to his private chef business, consulting projects, and teaching. He studied at the French Culinary Institute before working under Mauro Buffo at Falai and most notably Ben Pollinger at Oceana. His Michelin star experience led him to be recruited as a corporate executive chef for the CEOs of some of the largest companies in the world, including Sony, RBS, and The New York Times.
