Linda Violago

by Editor on January 1, 2010

Linda has been working in restaurants for over 20 years.  From humble beginnings in Winnipeg to Vancouver (everyone worked for Umberto at some point, right?), to Australia, to Charlie Trotter’s in Chicago (where the “real” education began), to being one of the very few women to run a wine program at a Michelin-starred restaurant at Mugaritz, in Spain.  She’s forever curious and forever restless and one of the most unorganized people on the planet, judging by her desk space.

Apart from working service, the other place she most feels at home is the yoga mat.  She has recently relocated to Malmö, Sweden and hopes that “this” time she’ll be able to find that elusive balance between work and play.
