Edward Sura
Executive Chef
Edward Sura formerly lead the award-winning culinary team as Executive Chef at NoMI Kitchen at the Park Hyatt Chicago.
Chef Sura developed his appetite for cooking while growing up on a farm in Michigan. This sparked a deep appreciation of approachable, rustic dishes full of fresh, local ingredients. Enrolling in the Great Lakes Culinary Institute transformed this passion into a lifelong career journey.
After working in Traverse City, Michigan under Executive Chef Ted Cizma, Sura made the move to the Windy City. Once in Chicago, Chef Sura built an impressive resume including some of Chicago’s most preeminent restaurants such as Michelin-starred Graham Elliot and his most recent venture at the acclaimed Perennial Virant. His natural talent and technical expertise is nationally recognized. In 2016, Sura was named a Semifinalist for the 2016 James Beard Foundation’s Rising Chef Award.
Chef Sura brought NoMI Kitchen back to its roots by continuing to maintain his passion and commitment to the quality, service and culinary vision he is known for, as well as incorporating his love for creating modern interpretations of classic dishes infused with rich flavors. Inspired by the seasons, he will continue to cultivate and strengthen his partnerships with the best products from farmers, cheese makers, ranchers, bakers and artisans from the surrounding region.
