Ismara Gonzalez—Isla Del Mar

Just a few years ago, Ismara Gonzalez was running a struggling health-conscious food company. Now she's the Chef/Owner of Isla Del Mar, a restaurant with three locations that beautifully blends seafood and Mexican cuisines and offers creative touches on sushi and ramen. To understand how her life changed so dramatically, you need to hear her story! We discussed how Ismara sources fresh seafood for an Omaha restaurant, the critical comments from a culinary school instructor that changed her life, and her journey from humble beginnings to a thriving restaurant sensation.
