Nicholas Bazik

Chef/owner, Provenance

Nicholas Bazik (Chef & Owner of Provenance) has spent the past 15 years working in and running some of Philadelphia’s finest restaurants (Fork, The Good King Tavern, Lacroix at The Rittenhouse). Prior to opening Provenance Bazik served as the Culinary Director for 13th Street Kitchen (Kensington Quarters, La Chinesca).

During the build out process of Provenance, he collaborated with the region’s best chefs, hosting preview dinners at a.kitchen (Chef Eli Collins), Le Cavalier (Chef Tyler Akin), River Twice (Randy Rucker) and more. Additionally, he met Joshua An, the then Chef de Cuisine of the Two Michelin Starred Le Clarence in Paris while dining there on his and his wife’s honeymoon/babymoon. This led to the two becoming friends which led to Bazik staging at the restaurant. Later he would return to the City of Light in February 2024 to partner for a sold-out, two-night-only dinner at Mokoloco during Chef An’s residency.

Provenance has been over two years in the making. It is truly a labor of love for Bazik, combining his passion for modern French cooking, alongside local ingredients as well as Korean influences–from his wife Eunbin. Growing up in rural Pennsylvania, Bazik was introduced to Korean food staples only after meeting his Eunbin, the vast processes and food culture of Korea (ie fermentation and pickling) have been fascinating to study and dive further into learning about–it’s cultural heritage that excites and is yet another layer of provenance to explore.
