My name is Alexis Sicklick, and I am the founder and chef of Syncopated, where I offer you the chance to dine to the 'beet' of my culinary rhythm through playful, vegetable-forward pop-up dinners.

With over 10 years of professional experience in some of New York's top restaurants, I am grounded in a strong foundation from which I love to break away whenever possible. Along with graduating at the top of my class from both The Culinary Institute of America and Cornell University's School of Hotel Administration, I spent time in the kitchens of Balaboosta – where I am currently the Executive Chef.

I had the privilege of competing on Food Network’s first-ever plant-based cooking competition hosted by Tabitha Brown. Not only was the show focused on satisfying those with vegan diets, but we also had to incorporate various food preferences and restrictions in each round.
