Meet Charles and Kasara Carter, the newest restaurateur power couple in St. Paul, Minnesota. For Charles, a Southern gentleman from Mississippi and his wife Kasara, born and raised locally, opening Taste of Rondo is more than just a labor of love – it’s a beacon of hope to the once vibrant community of Rondo, decimated in the 1960s by the construction of Interstate 94. One year in, the Carters are juggling family, full-time jobs outside the restaurant, and the steep learning curve of first-time business owners.
See how Charles and Kasara navigate through startup woes while preserving and reviving one of Minnesota’s most important neighborhoods.
