From Dish Pit to Vintner’s Dinner: Chef Derek Wagner’s Providence Story
In this episode of PVD POV, we sit down with James Beard–nominated chef Derek Wagner of Nick’s on Broadway.
From starting as a dishwasher at 14 to building one of Providence’s most respected restaurants, Derek shares how he found his path in the kitchen, why he chose to stay in Providence, and how that decision shaped his approach to food.
We also dive into his philosophy on sourcing, cooking with purpose, and what guests can expect from this year’s Vintner’s Dinner at the Providence Culinary Collective.
It’s a conversation about food, community, and creating experiences that bring people together.
