Chefs
Mary Sue Milliken and Susan Feniger
Ironically, it was in French restaurants where Chefs Mary Sue Milliken and Susan Feniger first tasted authentic Latin flavors. While guests were dining on escargot out front, in the back of the house Mary Sue and Susan were discovering the home cooking of Oaxaca and the Yucatan at staff meals prepared by their fellow cooks from Mexico. Unlike anything they had ever tasted in Mexican restaurants in the United States, the dishes were as varied and complex as the French fare the chefs were serving out front.
In 1985, Mary Sue and Susan packed a VW bug and took a road trip far south of the Mexican border. Never setting foot in a “fine restaurant,” they learned the recipes and techniques of market vendors and home cooks, from street corners in downtown Mexico City to back road family barbecues and taco stands along the beach. When they returned, they opened Border Grill and quickly established a new standard for gourmet Mexican fare.
Since then, Border Grill has expanded to restaurants in Las Vegas at Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino (1999), Downtown LA (2010), two gourmet Border Grill food trucks (2009), and locations at Los Angeles International Airport in the Tom Bradley International Terminal (2013) and The Huntington Library, Art Museum, and Botanical Gardens in San Marino (2016).
