Imagine a place in social media that is dedicated to celebrate, to bring awareness and to feature influential women in the food, beverage and hospitality industry.

A place where you can see, in your city, women who are restaurant owners, founders, general managers, directors, and executive chefs.

A place where you can observe how their creations come to life, how they prepare extraordinary dishes while sharing recipes and their stories in fascinating videos on Instagram.

That place exists. And the creator is with us today. Her unique experience and mission bring Dish'n Dames to life. It is an honor to welcome Lorena Legarreta to the show!
