~It is said that we as humans live many different lives during our lifetime, having experiences and circumstances shape our entire being. So after a few years of shaking and moving in this space, I feel the need to reintroduce myself!
๐ฟ
My name is Mark Pecson, I am the Chef & Owner of Mint Condition Supperclub! We've started doing dinner popups and events for the past 5 years, with a focus of bringing Filipino-American flavors to the community. My food that I've always wanted to cook serves as a paradox between gourmet New American / French restaurant plates and home-cooked Filipino dishes. Over the past 4 years, I've had many opportunities to collaborate with amazing chefs, teach the young chefs, and build great relationships within the industry. Not to mention, helping to open a handful of restaurant concepts, all the while putting energy into my own.

MCSC has always moved with the purpose of pushing the creative envelope through different avenues of art, sitting down and sharing a meal with others at the table, and amplifying voices for 1st generation Asian-Americans like myself. And although the glitz and glamour of being a self-sustaining chef is enticing; the mental, physical, and emotional toll can be very rough at times.

Maneuvering through the pandemic, Ive spent the time resting, recharging the batteries, learning many different cooking crafts and reframing what my vision for Mint Condition will be.
๐ฟ
I'm looking forward to sharing this vision of mine in Las Vegas now, where I first developed this passion for coking and food, in a city where a few great chefs held that space for me. Lots to be proud of, and lots to look forward to. My wish is to bring this newfound and refreshed energy and express it through my cooking style in hopes that the community will feel it!
๐ฟ
With that being said, be on the lookout for an announcement coming soon for some popups on the way!

Just a little parting nugget of wisdom: It is Never to late in the game to reinvent yourself, and never too late to learn something new. Self-discovery is a lifetime journey.

Maraming Salamat sa inyong lahat
