Hey Guys!!
My name is Joanna Mercado, also known as Chef Jojo. I discovered my love for cooking as a child, inspired by her father and grandmothers in the kitchen. That spark has since grown into over 22 years of professional culinary experience, including time at acclaimed 30A restaurants like Pescado and The Surfing Deer, and SushiPop & PuffnStuff Catering in Orlando, Florida, after I attended Le Cordon Bleu Culinary Arts.
Fast forward to today, I finally have the opportunity to cook my own dishes, which my menus are made with Mediterranean and Caribbean influences, adding healthy twist to beloved Southern classics, and crafts unforgettable sushi, and lots of fun experiences paired with food!
My favorite events are for large families and bachelorettes, with business retreats coming in 2nd place, only because I have to try to be quiet in the kitchen!
Whether preparing an intimate dinner for two or catering a 500-guest celebration, no occasion is too small or too grand. Every dish reflects Chef Jojo’s commitment to excellence and her joy in creating meaningful moments around the table.
