We had the good fortune of connecting with Wendy Garcia and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Wendy, we’d love for you to start things off by telling us something about your industry that we and others not in the industry might be unaware of?
All the different energies that take part on the process of bringing a plate of food to the table. From the prep cook, dishwasher, manager, chef, customers, looking for the best local ingredients, etc, Everything takes part as a team at the end.

Can you open up a bit about your work and career? We’re big fans and we’d love for our community to learn more about your work.
All the people the people that works at Tumerico are a very important part of the success, I see all Tumerico employees and customers as a whole, as a family, They all put their energies on making things happen in the back of the kitchen and in the front of the restaurant, We make fresh food with the only intention that whoever eats it, feels good and nourish, after all this is what We do, We all have Our part on anything that We do in life, Cooking as everything else requieres an infinite amount of passion.

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
