Miami, FL – April 4, 2024 – Executive Chef Nicolas Mazier’s new concept, The Collab, inside the Thesis Hotel in Coral Gables opened to the public on April 4. It’s a great place to unwind and grab post-work drinks just as much as it’s a spot to feed the senses and enjoy an exceptional meal with loved ones. “The Collab is a place where neighbors and friends can gather to enjoy a unique spin on international cuisine with bold flavors and innovative techniques,” shares Chef Nico. As a culinary enthusiast with a lifelong connection to the world of food and restaurants, his passion for cooking blossomed during frequent visits to his uncle’s classic French restaurant in the countryside. Rooted in a love for family cooking, Chef Nico carries this tradition forward, integrating his uncle’s cherished foie gras torchon recipe into almost every restaurant where he showcases his culinary skills today. At The Collab, Chef Nico’s culinary voyage weaves through Mediterranean and Asian flavors, each dish a chapter in his remarkable story, starting with Lycée Régional Hôtelier Jean-Paul Passedat in Marseille, where he dedicated six years to mastering and refining his culinary prowess before gaining real-life experience under Chef Dominique Frerard at Le Trois Forts at Sofitel Marseille.
