As a child, growing up in Turkey near the Mediterranean sea, and sneaking into the kitchen to sample his grandmother’s cooking, Moody Ugur developed a love for food and its power to bring people, friends and family together. With his brother and sister away at college, Moody found himself cooking for friends after school. Beginning with cooking with hand-picked vegetables from their garden and fresh produce from town, he taught himself his mother’s delicious old-world recipes, without measuring cups or spoons, and dev

After traveling across the ocean to attend college in Austin, Moody once again found himself cooking the same dishes from his childhood in a tiny kitchen apartment for his college roommates. In order to share his love of wholesome food with the world, Moody made the decision to enter the restaurant business, and Mezzeme was born.
