About Chef Nate

A graduate of the Culinary Institute of America, Hyde Park; Chef Nate Appleman trained in Italy in traditional methods of salumi production and butchery and is one of the few American pizzaiolos certified by the Verace Pizza Napoletana Association. Appleman later served as as executive chef and co-owner of A16 and SPQR in San Francisco before moving to New York City in 2010 to open Pulino’s Bar & Pizzeria.

Chef Nate’s cooking philosophy was recognized by Chipotle founder Steve Ells, who hired Appleman to join the culinary team at Chipotle. This latest chapter in his career allows him to continue his belief in making food with great quality ingredients, prepared using classic cooking methods — this time with a much wider reach. In addition to his culinary accomplishments, Appleman is an active philanthropist, as a board member of The Kawasaki Disease Foundation he works tirelessly to bring awareness to the efforts of the Kawasaki Disease Foundation.  Appleman is also a contributing advisor for Runner’s World Magazine.
