Today we’d like to introduce you to Pedro Mendez.
Alright, so thank you so much for sharing your story and insight with our readers. To kick things off, can you tell us a bit about how you got started?
Raised in East Austin, an environment that lacked positive role models, I drew my primary inspiration from my mother. Her strong work ethic, dedication, and resilience were instrumental in shaping my professional development. She was raising three kids on her own, she taught me the importance of self-reliance, which is how I started learning to cook from watching her and my grandmother. While my journey has had it’s hurdles, those experiences have only made me more adaptable and better with people. My passion for cooking grew over time, and through a lot of trial and error, I mastered the science of barbecue and diverse cuisine, especially perfecting my juicy brisket. Even though I reached leadership roles in my career, I eventually realized I was following someone else’s dream instead of my own. Trusting in God’s guidance, I left my management job to go all-in on Kulinary Delights.
We all face challenges, but looking back would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
I have previously faced challenges with substance abuse and legal issues, which resulted in significant time away from my family; however, I have gave my life to Jesus and utilized an opportunity for personal growth to successfully reform my life and professional trajectory.
Great, so let’s talk business. Can you tell our readers more about what you do and what you think sets you apart from others?

We’d love to hear about how you think about risk taking?
Given that I have resigned from my position to commit my full resources to Kulinary Delights, failure is not a option.
