Taking the Entrepreneur’s Leap!
How I Traded Wall Steet for Fresh Bread
From a young age, Liz always had a passion for food. First eating it, then cooking it, since her mother had the patience of a saint, always allowing her to “assist” in the kitchen. A Pittsburgh native, Liz moved to New York City after college where she discovered the food scene and that’s where the idea of opening a resturant began to form.
After too many years of working in the corporate world in NY, Liz made the decision to return home to open a place of her own, so she and her husband, Fred, came up with an idea. The result is Bluebird Kitchen, the culmination of dreaming, planning and determination.
