In this episode of Lunch with Biggie, I had the pleasure of chatting with Mario Penaherrera, the owner, butcher, and sandwich maestro behind The Butcher’s Nook in Mount Dora, Florida. Mario's culinary journey is nothing short of inspiring, transitioning from being an Executive Chef for the Miami Dolphins to now contributing to Central Florida's food scene.
Episode Highlights:
Culinary Evolution: Mario shares his experiences moving from the high-paced environment of professional sports catering to establishing his roots in Central Florida.
Entrepreneurial Ventures: We delve into his ownership and management of local favorites, The Frog & Monkey Restaurant & Pub and The Funky Monkey, discussing the challenges and rewards of running these establishments.
The Butcher’s Nook: Mario provides insights into his latest venture, The Butcher’s Nook, an artisanal butcher shop and deli known for its premium cuts and handcrafted sandwiches. Located at 237 W 4th Ave, Suite 4, Mount Dora, FL 32757, The Butcher’s Nook has quickly become a community staple.
Community and Quality: We discuss the importance of community engagement, maintaining work-life balance, and the emphasis on offering quality meats and products to customers.
Mount Dora’s Growth: Mario reflects on the rapid development of Mount Dora and how The Butcher’s Nook has adapted to serve the evolving needs of its residents.
