Nina Camacho and Marc Quiroz have known each other before they were born. Their fathers were college room mates and had kids within a month of each other. Those kids, Nina and Marc, have stayed friends ever since.

Today, after a circuitous route that has taken them individually across the country, they are both back in New Orleans. Nina is part of the team opening Jack and Jake’s Public Market on OCH Blvd and Mark is working with returned veterans.

Nina and Marc are both as passionate about New Orleans food as the day they were born!
