An entrepreneur of ideas, strategic thinker and doer, and food lover with a
zest for life, Sara Brito is Co-Founder of the Good Food Media Network, a

Sara is a 20-year food (Chefs Collaborative, The Kitchen, Snooze),

supply of the City of New York. Under Sara's leadership, Chefs
Collaborative was nominated for the 2016 Taste Talks inaugural "Outstanding

Sara's roots in food began growing up in a small farming community in
Western New York known as 'Home of the Peach Festival.' She currently lives
in Boulder, CO and Brooklyn, NY.
