Vicia and Winslow's Table - Tara Gallina, owner

The vegetable-forward restaurant in St. Louis’ Cortex district continues to earn praise locally and nationwide. This month Chef Michael Gallina graces the cover of Food and Wine magazine with the title of Best New Chef. He is one half of the husband and wife team running one of the city’s most innovative restaurants. The restaurant was also a James Beard Award semi-finalist for Best New Restaurant. Michael and Tara Gallina met at one of the best restaurants in New York and moved back to St. Louis to open their first restaurant. In the episode, they talk about working together as a team, what’s next for Vicia and how they deal with the occasional cruel Yelp review.

The husband-and-wife team met while working at Blue Hill at Stone Barns in New York’s Westchester County, and relocated to Michael's hometown where they started cooking and serving pop-up dinners under the name Rooster and the Hen. Vicia is located in the Cortex Innovation Community, a vibrant and fast-growing innovation hub and technology district.
