Chef Alan Bergo is a Minnesota native. Chef by trade, but forager by choice, he worked his way up restaurants around the Twin Cities, discovering his love of foraging mushrooms, plants, herbs, roots and anything else delicious he can learn about along the way.
He lives in Western Wisconsin, hunting and cooking plants and mushrooms full time with his rescue cat Nala. When he's not working he's usually outside taking pictures of mushrooms, reading fantasy novels or eating at his friend's restaurants in the Twin Cities.
