Wick & Nick's
Day 3: 5-Course Culinary Crescendo Tasting Series
Opened at the end of 2023 on the edge of Grant Park, this intimate pop-up supper club was launched by Chefs Jared Warwick (Wick) of Octopus Bar and Ben Skolnick (Nick) of BoccaLupo. Their efforts paid off quickly, as Eater promptly listed Wick & Nick's on its 2024 List of “Hottest in Atlanta” as did the Atlantan in their “Hottest New Restaurants” List. It’s always an adventure and something of a surprise as to what you’ll find here. Still, they’re known for dishes like scallop ceviche with leche de tigre, braised lamb neck with semolina gnocchi, duck tortellini with butternut squash, and glorious desserts like blueberry semifreddo and Thai tea panna cotta. There’s always something new, different, and delicious at Wick & Nick’s, so let’s head over, dig in, and chat with the chefs about where they get their food ideas.
About the Hosts:
Ben Skolnick

Hailing from Duluth, Georgia, Chef Ben Skolnick honed his craft at Boccalupo before teaming up with Chef Jared Warwick of Octopus Bar. Wick & Nick's is their first culinary project.
Jared Warwick
Co-Chef/Owner
Chef Jared Warwick is the chef at Octopus Bar as well as the co-founder of Wick & Nick’s. With over a decade in kitchens, his food draws on local ingredients, Asian techniques, and a light Italian sensibility that feels refined, seasonal, and a little unpredictable (like Atlanta itself).
