Getting Breakfast at Amy La Faye's

Amy Gravitt opened the doors to her restaurant, named in honor of her grandmother, in September 2009. Located at 2559 Pharr Ave., has gained popularity and a following in the community for their homemade, fresh biscuits and breakfast. I recently sat down to talk to Gravitt about her restaurant.

Patch: What is the most challenging aspect of owning a restaurant?

Patch: What makes Amy La Faye's unique?

Amy: We stick to our roots here and I do what I was taught growing up. I have a lot of salesmen try to get me to change this and that, but I stick with what I was taught and how I was raised doing it. I'm very stubborn but I'm very determined to carry on what my grandmother did.
