I first heard about Chef Frank Mercado after recording our first podcast with Christa Seychew, I was immediately intrigued by his unique job and I hoped to have him come down to the studio. Frank works for Sodexo, a company that is in charge of the cafeterias in the M&T Building in downtown Buffalo. Frank is the Executive Chef for the Executive Dining Room, creating a constantly changing breakfast and lunch menu for M&T’s Officers and Executives. We talked about his start in the culinary world, how he found his way to Buffalo from Pennsylvania and his experience as a contestant for Nickel City Chef this year.
Just a reminder, check out other great podcasts like the Late Nick Mendola, BuffaBLOG Radio, In Pod Form, Craft Beer Talk, Movie Madness on Audio Buffalo. Also please support our sponsor Consumers Beverages and check out what’s on tap on their website!
