Worn Out Wednesday – Chef Marco Niccoli

By Cator Sparks Published January 19, 2016

Today we speak to chef Marco Niccoli.

I was born in San Diego, California and am now living in Salt Lake City, Utah. I come from an Italian family of all boys, there are 5 of us and my dad had restaurants in Los Angeles called “Bruno’s Old World Italian Deli”. I knew from day one that I wanted to be a Chef, food has always been my passion!

About three years ago I met the women of my dreams (she is a chef) and together we started to change the way people around us look at food. We work a lot together catering high-end private parties, teaching private cooking classes and doing “Pop Up” restaurants all over the country. We both have two beautiful kids from previous marriages, which means we have four kids under 7 years old together! They are amazing and round out our ‘Apron Squad’.

Before Traeger I worked as the Executive Chef at Culinary Crafts, one of the most respected catering agencies in the U.S., producing over 500 events annually, the majority of which are outdoors. I was recognized as one of the Fab 50 (youngest Executive Chefs in the state) and led the team that won the ICA Caterer of the Year in 2013. I was also the keynote speaker at “The Art of Catering” global conference in Denver Colorado, and last year was one of five global chefs selected to do the launch party for a new Toyota model for 2,000 people.

Now that I am working for Traeger Grills, where I am their Global Culinary Director, I get to travel the world sharing my passion and teaching people how to cook with the natural flavor of hard wood. I couldn’t be more stoked about bringing people together around amazing food!

For UK-based Dr. Martens, creating a timeless shoe that’s both street-style ready and sleek is no foreign task. Among the most recognizable designs in the business, Dr. Martens has certainly left its mark on fashion. Now, the brand is taking its overt coolness to the next level with a new hue for its iconic loafers. While the brand is mainly recognized for its lace-up boots, its loafer lineup doesn’t fall far behind. The Adrian Loafer model is considered their shining star, with plenty of iterations that’ll elevate your regular loafers into a runway-ready pick. And now with a new hue, these Dr. Martens loafers are far from your basic run-of-the-mill footwear choice.

Adidas and Mercedes-AMG F1 launch Silver Arrows fanwear collection before British Grand Prix

The Silver Arrow collection is on sale worldwide at select Adidas retailers and the Adidas website.

Working with the Mercedes-AMG Petronas F1 team, Adidas launched the Silver Arrow pack, a collection of fanwear inspired by the Mercedes-Benz W196 race car. Current Mercedes F1 drivers George Russell and Kimi Antonelli posed with items from the Silver Arrow collection along with professional models.
Why celebrate the W196?

The W196 wasn't the first Silver Arrow. The first Mercedes to be called a Silver Arrow was the Mercedes W25, which debuted in 1934. However, driver Juan Fangio won the 1954 and 1955 F1 World Championships with the W196, which was among the several models referred to by the group name. The Adidas Silver Arrow collection celebrates the 70th anniversary of the W196's first F1 Championship season.
