Executive Chef: Executive Chef Gregory Zapantis' name can be found in the heart of every upscale establishment that elevated Greek cuisine into gastronomical art, including Molos in Weehawken, where he also helms the kitchen. A long line of distinctions and awards attests to his many accomplishments, but the distinction held closest to his heart took place in 2011, with his induction by the Hellenic Chef's Club, the only club founded on Greek soil, with the single purpose to support Hellenic cuisine around the globe. Gregory Zapantis was also the first culinary ambassador to Greece in North America, a true honor coming from the leading chefs of his home country, and brings the delicacies of the sea to The Yacht Club.
