Nate Appleman brings a soulful approach to his cooking style, and that style has won him worldwide acclaim.

He also traveled to Italy where he learned more about butchery and curing meats. His Italy experience became the foundation of his cooking. He recently wrote his first cookbook which won two awards from the IACP Cookbook Awards including Cookbook of the Year and First Book/The Julia Child Award. He is competing on The Next Iron Chef in 2009.
