He went on to serve as a chef and sous-chef in Michelin-starred restaurants in Chicago and New York, working with Stephanie Izard, Eric Greenspan, and April Bloomfield.
Mentorship from Evan Funke and Marc Vetri deepened his handmade-pasta craft. In 2021, Mark and The Lime Truck won Food Network’s The Great Food Truck Race: All-Stars. Pasta Mark brings all of that experience directly to your table.
