The Women of Clark Street

As you no doubt are aware, March is Women’s History Month, a national celebration of the impact women have had on our shared history and modern culture. Over the four Clark Street restaurants, Frontera Grill, Topolobampo, Bar Sótano, and Xoco, over 60% of our management team are women.

To celebrate them, we have put together this collection of portraits highlighting their strength, leadership, creativity and passion.
