“WITH MY FOOD, I AIM TO HONOR MY ROOTS WHILE ALSO SHARING MY EVOLUTION, BOTH AS A CHEF AND A PERSON. IT’S MY WAY OF BRINGING PEOPLE TOGETHER.”
Executive Chef Nicholas Poulmentis is an @FoodNetwork Chopped Champion based in New York City. Poulmentis was born in New York City. At the age of one, his family moved to the Greek island of Kythira, where Chef Nicholas grew up. Following in his parents’ footsteps, Chef Nicholas returned to NYC, conquering the culinary scene with his reimagined Greek cuisine keeping his culture and traditions alive through his art. Chef Nicholas opened the doors of Noema in Huntington this past winter to rave reviews. With more than 30 years of training, he has created a star studded following and a reputation in the industry as being one of the more interesting, innovative, and creative chefs of Mediterranean cuisine. With an emphasis on fresh local ingredients, and a menu influenced by his Greek heritage and extensive training, Noema offers a one-of-a-kind dining experience with a wide range of seafood dishes, house-made pastas, and shareable starters with his imaginative signature accents.
Among his many accolades, Chef Nicholas has been featured in Forbes Magazine, the New York Times, was certified as an official Ambassador for Greek Gastronomy throughout the world and was chosen to cook at the White House.
In 2021, he published his first cookbook The Novelty of Greek Cuisine.
