51 - Chef Nick Graff from Noodles & Company Treat Your Food with Respect

Meet Chef Nick - the Executive Chef at Broomfield, Colorado-based Noodles & Company. Nick is a very cool, down to earth family man who has a clear passion for food and creation. He grew up in a food-centric family, worked his first job in a restaurant and the fire was stoked. After culinary school in NY, he worked every position at a variety of restaurants before landing at Noodles. There’s so much I love about Noodles and Nick. First of all, if you don’t like your meal, you simply say “I don’t like it.” And they make you a new meal! And you are encouraged to customize. I don’t have to feel high maintenance anymore! Finally, I love Chef Nick’s final nugget, "Eat Good Food. Treat your food with respect. Understand what your flavors are. Don’t overwhelm those flavors. Let the food you’re preparing speak to you." Enjoy!
