After a long and prosperous career in the restaurant/resort industry in Colorado, Lara moved to Chicago to be a part of the "big" restaurant scene. She landed a job at Bistro 110, and to her surprise, woke up one day a year later and decided that she could no longer manage a restaurant that served meat.

After meeting with Mickey and Jo, she joined the Diner team back in '96. She had finally found a restaurant that she could feel morally comfortable working in. Throughout the years, Lara has spread her wings and attempted to go back to her original roots of fine dining, but has returned due to her strong belief in vegetarianism, and love for the Diner. She has grown with us as we watched her get married (an event that the Chicago Diner catered) & become a mother.

Her first child, Kaitlyn Brooke, was born on November 13, 2002.
