Mere Brugler is an amazing young chef (and loyal Effin b radio listener! 😘) who has worked at some of the coolest spots in the country like Chubby Fish, Le Farfalle, Leon’s, Found Oyster and more. But when she got COVID in 2020 she completely lost her ability to taste..which sort of makes cooking um….difficult. Her story is a tough one but I think it holds so much wisdom for anyone in the industry who is trying to figure out where they fit in post-pandemic.
