He was once part of the management team at Food Dudes, and has also worked at Estia, County General and Antler. Bannon was born just a block away from the fire hall and grew up 15 minutes south, on a farm near Dundalk. His family has been farming in Grey County since the 1890s, and he spent his summers on family farms and has been working in kitchens since the age of 10.
