Somehow, as a little girl growing up on the Westside of Chicago, Dominique Leach knew that her future was in food. But when she looked at the best Chefs around, Dominique didn’t see anyone who looked like her. Kitchens have been led and dominated by white men for centuries. Only recently has a small group of Women mostly white and a handful of African American or Hispanic men managed to break that ceiling. But the sight of a young black woman in charge is as rare as a morel mushroom in winter.
