Despite what most of the city of Chicago might want you to believe, Mr. Santiago did not come from old money. His mother raised him alone while working minimum wage, and he took odd gigs around his hometown of Aurora, Illinois, to help out.
Mr. Santiago started washing dishes at a restaurant, and he eventually became an assistant cook. But he wanted to do more. So he started taking night business classes at the local community college and later became his own boss.

His first restaurant was small and had a simple menu. But it was brilliant and popular with people. Then he asked for his first bank loan to open a place in Chicago, and his success took off from there. His restaurants won awards.
