In the male-dominated restaurant business, female restaurateurs, let alone successful ones, are few and far between.

I LOVE monogramming! Growing up, my mom used to monogram my clothes, pillows, backpacks and just about anything else she could dream up! For awhile, she even had her own puffy paint business — she made adorable outfits with rhinestones, tule and bows and her signature move was to put the child’s name on each [...]
