1 + 1 — one chick, one bro
One chick and one bro: a sister and her brother opened this café on 49th St S in February 2024 to cook the Venezuelan food they grew up on, for family, friends and the neighborhood. That's the whole name, and the whole idea.
In the Tampa Bay Times, Helen Freund watched owner Xiomaira Webster as she “moves swiftly between tables, dropping off plates of golden-fried empanadas.”
“…a tribute to the Venezuelan staple.”
