Chicago Restaurant Week 2023 Helps Promote Women-Owned Businesses

Chicago (WLS) — Chicago Restaurant Week is back! Hundreds of restaurants across the city offer special menus for 17 days.

Vermilion is one of the participating restaurants.This restaurant is famous for its Indian cuisine and Latin cuisine.

“It’s been a tough couple of years, as you know,” says founder Rohini Dey. “It made a dismal January enjoyable.”

Dey is also the founder of Let’s Talk Womxn, a group of female restaurateurs who have come together during the pandemic to help their businesses survive.

“It was from the heart at the time, with all the debt, we didn’t know the moral of being open,” Day said.

Now, this group has grown. Female-led restaurants collaborate with each other.
