Paredes, who has a deep professional relationship with Pomeroy, brings extensive experience to the role, emphasizing that she is uniquely qualified to honor the impact of Pomeroy’s culinary contributions.
There is truly no one more qualified to carry forward the culinary legacy that Naomi Pomeroy started at L'Échelle than Mika Paredes, her longtime friend.
