'It's nurturing, it's nourishing. We want you to leave here feeling really good about the choices that you made,' co-owner Britni DeLeon said.
CHICAGO -- Two Chicago entrepreneurs went from restaurant workers to restaurant owners when they discovered they couldn't find the kind of healthy food they wanted to eat. Even though they're the owners, Kasia Bednarz and Britni DeLeon still serve customers sometimes at their restaurant FARE, with four downtown locations in Chicago. 'It's nurturing, it's nourishing. We want you to leave here feeling really good about the choices that you made,' DeLeon said.
It all started with a counter at a food hall on Wells and Wacker in 2018. But as two women heading up a new restaurant brand, there were challenges. 'The restaurant industry is definitely male-dominated. I've been in so many meetings – you know, construction meetings, for example – where no one's talking to me, and I'm like, 'Hey, I'm the one paying this bill,' Bednarz said.
