Life as an M’preneur
Margarita Ramos grew up in Colombia playing in the kitchen of her father – the owner of a restaurant featuring typical Colombian food. Food is for her family not just fuel for the body but a chance to taste life. Andy Womack, a native Virginian, has a penchant for both the art and the science behind cooking thus turning himself into a Foodie. Margarita and Andy met and fell in love while both were earning their PhD at Princeton University. Now they are raising their three boys while keeping up with a busy professional life. Finding a healthy but tasty family meal that would fit in between business calls, soccer games and carpools was a challenge. By combining Margarita’s Hispanic roots and Andy’s passion for modern American cuisine they started Al Sur Latin Kitchen and Catering LLC. Al Sur = South of here = Fusion Latin Goodness. By running many iterations of their recipes past their kids, they created their first line of products, “M’panadas”: modern empanadas for people on the go.
