2018Where the story caught fire

Mijo means “my son”

Built by family. Seasoned by the journey.

Ivan “Zo” Gomez knew his mother Martina's cooking deserved a bigger table. After her tamales placed third in a 2018 Lake County competition, one grill at the Kenosha Public Market became festivals, catering, Six Flags and a Fox Lake home of their own.

01

Mom's recipes and a family willing to bet on them.
