716: Busy and Buzzy with Lure Fishbar & Bar Mercer’s Preston Clark

By This Is TASTE

3:00 AM EST on January 16, 2026

Preston Clark is the executive chef at Lure Fishbar and Bar Mercer in New York City, and he joins us in the studio to talk about his unique career. Clark’s father, Patrick Clark, was the original chef at the Odeon and the first Black chef to win a James Beard Award. Tragically, Patrick passed away in 1998 at the age of 42. Preston has picked up the Clark legacy while writing his own chapters, and we talk about his early chef life working with his dad at Tavern on the Green and his creative approach to comfort food cooking at his wildly popular New York City restaurants.
