Taking a job at a local deli in his hometown of Hawthorne, New York at the age of 15 sealed Nick Testa’s culinary path, and he’s been in love with the kitchen world ever since. Before bringing his style of eclectic comfort food to The Bonnie, Nick worked as assistant food stylist for chef Rocco DiSpirito and as sous chef at 83 ½ on the Upper East Side for chef Ryan Skeen, his most influential mentor. Now an Astoria resident, Nick can be found in his backyard in the warm months, hosting multicourse dinner parties, building elaborate carpentry projects or playing with his Schnauzer, Norman. He's also a proud champion of Food Network's Chopped!
