Episode Description

Salt + Lime Modern Mexican Grill goes viral every year for their extravagant Christmas decor. When the holidays come, the team rallies as there is a line out the door to see what owner, Sandra Van Deraa has come up with next. In this episode, we learn Van Deraa was working in mortgages when she started picking up shifts in the restaurant industry to make ends meet. When she got an incredible offer, she took it and ran, now owning Salt + Lime and growing it to three Valley locations. Hear how she uses her old cheer coach experience to lead a team, her "must have" menu items, and how to get a table during that coveted Christmas season.
