GINA RIOS – COLOMBIA
VIP OPENING RECEPTION – EMPANADAS COLOMBIANAS
– Friday July 12 – 6 pm (Daniels Spectrum)
Gina Rios, a talented Colombian cook and businesswoman, emigrated to Canada in search of new opportunities for her family. Motivated by her daughter’s desire to taste her grandmother’s delicious homemade chorizos and blood sausages, Gina decided to start a modest business selling these products to Toronto’s Colombian community. Over time, her passion for cooking and dedication led her to open her own restaurant, which quickly became one of the most prominent in the GTA. Her story is an inspiring testimony of how the love of food and the desire to keep family traditions alive can turn into notable business success.
