“What I love about cooking is that food is a very personal experience.  When a couple wants salmon on their wedding menu, my favorite part of the job is figuring out what that fish tastes like in their heads.  That’s the fun of it all.” 

– Chef Nick Swanson, Culinary Director

Executive Chef

In 2005, working in his first kitchen, Nick's culinary talent was quickly recognized. Rapidly rising from prep cook to sous chef at Boulder's Bacaro Venitian Taverna sparked what would become a life-long culinary drive in Nick. The Bacaro chefs saw his raw talent and sponsored Nick to stage in Italy at the MIchelin-starred Relais Villa d'Amelia under Chef Damiano Nigro.

Upon completing this stage, Nick wasted no time finding his next culinary challenge. In 2008 in New York City he graduated with honors from the esteemed French Culinary Institute before furthering his studies working side-by-side with Chef Fabio Trabocchi at his famed Fiamma and next with Chef Jean-Georges at his West Village gem Vongerichten's Perry Street Restaurant.

Nick's reputation in New York soared and soon he was spending his days off as a chef for the stars, designing and executing menus for celebrities such as Nicole Kidman, Hugh Jackman and Calvin Klein.

Family would eventually draw Nick back to Boulder, CO where he was hired to open Pasta Vino. Shortly after opening night in 2013, however, the Mountain Sun Pubs and Breweries successfully recruited Nick to learn the business side of commercial kitchens in preparation for him taking over the reigns of Under the Sun Eatery in 2015.

Nick is the Culinary Director and an owner of Urban Field Pizza and Market.
