Nómade Cocina, Lucky Robot
Chef Jay Huang is making his mark on Austin’s food scene as Executive Chef of Lucky Robot and Nómade Cocina, blending bold flavors with a conscience. A UT neurobiology grad turned multifaceted chef, Jay specializes in Nikkei (Japanese-Peruvian) cuisine AND the vibrant traditions of the Yucatán—always with sustainability at the core.
At Lucky Robot, Jay leads Texas’s first sustainable sushi program as a James Beard Smart Catch Leader, proving that world-class nigiri and ocean stewardship go hand in hand. At Nómade, his fire-kissed, 100% gluten-free menu channels coastal Yucatán with global spice notes and a raw bar built for sharing. Beyond the kitchen, Jay’s YouTube channel offers tutorials on fish butchery, pro tips, and the skills to level up any kitchen game.
