How One Chef Blends Mediterranean Seafood With Florida Flair — The Experts

Follow culinary director Nick Ocando as he takes us inside the kitchen of his three standout restaurants in St. Petersburg, Florida. The day begins at Allelo, where his team prepares a Mediterranean menu with cappelletti and radiatori pasta made in-house, steamed lobster, a wagyu and scallop plate, and its signature octopus and watermelon dish. Then it's off to Juno & the Peacock, a coastal American restaurant, serving showstopping appetizers like a seafood tower stacked with oysters, shrimp, crab, smoked salmon, and lobster salad. He wraps up at Pluma, a cocktail lounge serving Central American small plates, known for its popular huitlacoche empanadas. #florida #chef #seafood Credits: Senior Producer/Director: Connor Reid Senior Video Director: Murilo Ferreira Camera: Murilo Ferreira, Tom Daly Production Sound Mixer: Mike Fitzgerald Editor: Howie Burbidge Executive Producer: Stephen Pelletteri Head of Production: Stefania Orrù Director of Production: Michelle Fox Post-Production Supervisor: Lucy Morales Carlisle Audience Engagement: Frances Dumlao Download the Eater app here: https://apple.co/401kzls ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- For more episodes of 'The Experts', click here: https://trib.al/z4V8rCW Eater is the go-to resource for food and restaurant obsessives with hundreds of episodes and new series, featuring exclusive access to dining around the world, rich culture, immersive experiences, and authoritative experts.
