Mark Krueger is Group head chef of restaurants Mejico and Indu in the city. Mark has an extensive background in the culinary field, having worked under and alongside, some of the world’s most renowned chefs at several iconic restaurants and hotels. From Melbourne to the Maldives, Thailand and the Yarra Valley, Mark has continued to foster a passion for food and also for life-long learning with this latest role sending him on another learning curve within Mexican cuisine. I had come in to Pink Alley a couple of weeks before our chat for dinner at Mejico and I loved it. The food was fresh and tasty and I loved the margaritas, the guacamole being made at the table and all the decorative skulls in the dining room. Mark had prepared for our chat, and we didn’t cover half the things he had noted down, and I think with all his experiences and the different countries he has lived in there, there is definitely a book in it, or even a movie. There is clearly an opportunity for a second conversation. We went upstairs to Indu’s private dining room and the fragrance of spices as we walked up the stairs was incredible. You enter the dining room through a hallway bedecked in yellow garlands and it feels like a special place. I was already making a mental note for a future dinner party with friends all seated around the huge banquet table eating delicious Sri Lankan food. Will you come?
