Nils Noren Is Leaving the French Culinary Institute
When we last heard from the French Culinary Institute, the school was busy announcing its plans to open a new campus in California. Today, the news coming from Grand Street hits a bit closer to home: Nils Noren, the school's vice president of culinary and pastry arts, is stepping down as of January 1.![]()

Per Eater, the school says that the Swedish chef, who previously earned accolades as the executive chef at Aquavit and was known for his avant-garde experimentation, is leaving to write a book. He'll be replaced by Kevin Stuessi, a former chef with management experience in Las Vegas hotels who will be helping the school open their new West Coast campus.
