STAFF SPOTLIGHT: MARIO 🍌
Aries Sun. Gemini Moon. Cancer Rising. Pastry chef. Cat dad.
“A mille-feuille of a man.” -
@cwrmth, Bar Manager
Originally from Monterrey, Mexico, Mario spent some time learning the ropes in France before making his way through Le Jardinier and eventually landing in our kitchen.
When he’s not making something, he’s probably building LEGOs, tending to his fish tank, watching movies, or hanging out with his cat, Lana 🥹
“Mario brings more whimsy and we love that” -
@notanobject, Wine Director
His karaoke song of choice remains “I’m Not Okay (I Promise)” by My Chemical Romance. “Mario respects millennial white girl music” -
@syrahd, General Manager.
And we respect that.
And speaking of Mario’s work 🍌 Allow us to reintroduce Sexy Banana 2.0: Rum and tres leches-soaked banana cake with crème fraîche Chantilly and rum caramel sauce.
You need it.
Give Mario some love 🍨🧡🍌
