Getting to know MIO

MIO, made up of Emily, Bob and Austin, will be joining us at the Mount Without this Sunday to create an Asian fusion feast for 46 of you!

We thought we would get to know the trio a little better before the big day…

1. How did you meet each other?

We met working at a restaurant in Whapping Wharf, where Austin was Head Chef, Emily Sous Chef and Bob was the Manager. 

2. How did the idea for MIO come about?

Austin and I (Bob) toyed with the idea of a pop up whilst working together, but the motivation escaped us! After leaving work at Whapping Wharf, we have had a lot more time on our hands so decided to see what we could do. We’d always liked the concept of The Scrandit so approached them to see if they would have us on and the rest in history… 

3. What’s your go-to mid week meal?

Emily - grilled broccoli & avocado sushi with green chilli sriracha and kabayaki sauce

Bob - Vietnamese rice paper rolls with lemon and coriander prawns, mint and whatever veg is in my fridge

Austin - usually a garlic shoyu ramen


4. What can we expect to eat at Yoga Brunch Club? 

You can expect something wrapped to start with, and definitely some miso to finish! 

We can’t wait for our first collaboration with MIO - keep an eye on the Yoga Brunch Club Instagram for updates from the event and don’t forget to follow MIO here to find our where they will be popping up next!
