About us

For over forty years, Chef/Owners Susan Feniger and Mary Sue Milliken have sustained one of the most enduring business partnerships in LA and beyond. After meeting as the first women chefs in a Chicago kitchen, Feniger and Milliken teamed up in 1981 to open the critically acclaimed City Café, and later CITY Restaurant, in Los Angeles. In 1985, Susan and Mary Sue debuted the first Border Grill as a small, forty seat “taco stand” on Melrose out of a deep affection and appreciation of the Mexican kitchen. Effortlessly blending their classical culinary training with conscientiously-sourced ingredients, and regional recipes, the chefs continue to evolve their California-inflected Mexican-inspired cuisine. The James Beard and Julia Child award-winning chefs, cookbook authors, media personalities, entrepreneurs and pioneers of world cuisine went on to found Mundo Hospitality Group to expand their restaurant empire beyond the world famous Border Grill. Now with multiple restaurants, food trucks, and full-service events and catering business, the chef duo continue breaking barriers as female restaurateurs in a male-dominated industry, pioneering sustainability initiatives and developing their culinary offerings into cookbooks, radio and Food Network tv shows, and in a variety of eateries including BBQ Mexicana and Pacha Mamas in Las Vegas, and SOCALO, a California canteen and Mexican pub in Santa Monica. Most recently, the duo opened Alice B., a California twist on Mediterranean food in Palm Springs. At every location from SoCal to Las Vegas, the chefs combine fresh, flavorful and organic ingredients with hand shaken cocktails, vibrant design, and friendly service to create an unforgettable dining experience. Active members of the community, the chef duo play leading roles in the Los Angeles LGBT Center, Scleroderma Research Foundation, James Beard Foundation, and Regarding Her. Both competed in different seasons of Bravo’s Top Chef Masters. Visit bordergrill.com for info.
