Profile bio
About Chef Joanna Mercado
My first job was in the kitchen, and so far, it appears to be my last! I have been a chef now for 18 years, on and off over the years, trying different avenues, and different types of career paths that the culinary industry has to offer. I currently by chance ended up back in my high school hometown of Panama City Beach after Covid. I wasn't able to work in my normal scene with the closures, so I found the private chef industry and decided to give it a go. I never imagined I would find a new facet of this industry that I would enjoy so much. Finally having the opportunity to explore myself, and create my own recipes, I have finally started to become my own chef. Create my own style, taste, and flavor profile, unique to my life, shaped by experiences. I am so happy right now with where I am at, but always looking for growth, never wanting to become stagnant. I want to continue to push myself and reach the goals I originally set. I would love to travel, and experience food from other cultures, and immerse myself in the Michelin-star restaurant world for a few seasons, working with the best chefs in the world. But for now, I am here, on the Florida Emerald Coast, enjoying the beautiful beaches and delicious fresh seafood!
