Famed NYC Filipina Chef, Restaurateur, & Cookbook Author

Considered a trailblazer as a female restaurateur and author, Nicole has garnered the respect of critics and praise by her community and guests. As an author, she is known for traveling to remote areas of the Philippines, researching ancestral recipes and documenting them in her 2019 debut book (the James Beard nominated) “I Am a Filipino”. As a restaurateur, she launched a dormant conversation on Filipino food and opened two iconic and beloved Filipino restaurants in NYC: Jeepney and Maharlika. Before closing its doors in September 2021, Jeepney was widely considered the leader in Filipino food winning numerous awards and recognitions.
