With his parents both working evenings in the family pharmacy, Mark was free to learn the ways of the kitchen at a young age. An unsupervised Mark allowed his imagination to soar, and he invented sandwich creations with whatever was pillaged from the fridge and pantry. His culinary genius shone through in these first masterpieces, and he soon became known as the “sandwich guy” among family and later, college friends. This love of the simple sandwich and the delectable things you can stuff between two pieces of bread later became the inspiration for many restaurant concepts which Mark concocted.
Fast forward a few (dozen) years, and you have that same crazy, creative kid in a kitchen or two with decades of experience, awards, restaurant concepts, and stories under his belt. Mark was recently dubbed the father of Dallas’ fast-casual scene by D Magazine and has played instrumental roles in the success stories of Eatzi’s, Pei Wei, Tin Star, Velvet Taco, and many other world-famous brands.
A self-proclaimed introvert who’s always dreaming up the next big idea, Brezinski has found that the love of his industry sticks much like an al dente noodle thrown against a wall. Mark is wildly passionate about the restaurant business and boils down his 40+ years of experience to benefit each and every one of his clients.
