Kasia Bednarz: Survival Story Turned Fast-Casual Mission

Kasia Bednarz didn’t grow up thinking about “clean eating.” She grew up eating potatoes because that’s what her family could afford.

Today, she’s the Founder and CEO of FARE—a fast-casual brand proving that fast food and real food don’t have to be enemies. Built on scratch-made recipes, zero seed oils, zero refined sugars, FARE has grown from a farmers’ market table to 10 Chicago locations, with Charlotte opening this fall.
