It's time again for our PMR Preview, where we sit down with one of our team members and get to know them a little better. This month we're talking to one of our new Smallwares Specialists, Sergio Tweten. Sergio has been working in the foodservice business for over a decade and has a lot of experience to share.
I was born and grew up in El Salvador, (then) made my way to France for my Master’s Degree before ending up coming to the USA in late 2021. I have worked in one way or another in the restaurant industry for the past 12 years, and when the opportunity presented itself to join PMR, I took it without hesitation.
The internal organization of tasks and the people I work with. Everyone has been extremely welcoming and has made me feel immediately like part of the team.
I started in back-of-the-house duties, mainly as a food expo/runner and sometimes as a line cook.
No single day is alike. There is always something different that comes up and makes you look forward to (going) to work.
Price of goods, labor, and rent.
Marcel (which is) more of a special occasion spot, but I love steak, and they definitely make the best steak and have the best service in the city, in my opinion.
Soccer. I am a big sports fan, but I would say soccer is my main passion.
Barcelona and Arsenal in soccer, and the Minnesota Vikings in the NFL.
My two brothers and my mother. Seeing that we all live thousands of miles apart, it has been many years since we’ve all been able to sit and have a meal all together at the same time.
My cellphone.
Italy has so much to offer that you could plan a single vacation for each individual region.
To experience the northern lights in person.
Sergio, thanks so much for sharing your story with us. And welcome to the PMR team!
