Citizen Kitchens

Wouldn't it be fun to open your own restaurant? Be your own boss, make money making food dishes. Well, consider this. About 60% of new restaurants fail during their first year of business. Also, you don't necessarily need a brick and mortar location to market you food these days. These are a couple of reasons why a veteran Nashville chef found a new recipe for success called Citizen Kitchens.
