BY ADAM DAIGLE | Acadiana Business Editor Good morning, Acadiana business news readers. Let's get to the headlines. Chef Kelsey Leger's path to learning more about how food, nutrition and wellness are interconnected started at a burger restaurant. Her first kitchen job was at Burgersmith in Lafayette, running food and eating plenty of burgers and fries. Eventually, Leger started noticing that her physical and mental health was being affected, and she suspected that diet played a role. Fast forward years later, she opened Five Mile Eatery in 2022 with her fiancée and business partner, Sarah Trotter. They created a menu focused on whole ingredients and hearty food, like the premium angus beef burger on a house-made sweet potato bun, dressed with local produce, with spicy ketchup, basil mayo and whole grain mustard. Last month Leger was named a 2024 Chef to Watch by Louisiana Cookin' magazine. Read the full story here. Have a great day and thanks for reading. |
