Jill MarcusPresident, Something Classic & The Mother Earth Group
Jill Marcus is the founder and president of Mother Earth Group, a food service company that is locally rooted and globally inspired. Mother Earth Group includes the catering company, Something Classic, and the restaurants Mariposa, Coquette, and many others.
Jill opened Something Classic in 1989, shortly after graduating from Davidson College. She quickly expanded to open some of Charlotte’s most beloved restaurants, including Halcyon, which was a James Beard Award-nominated farm-to-table restaurant; Fern, which was Charlotte’s much-anticipated vegetarian restaurant; the world-to-table concept Mariposa; and now Coquette, a French restaurant.
When she’s not working in the Charlotte food scene, Jill adds stamps to her well-worn passport and tastes her way around the world. She brings back souvenirs of these travels to her menus, infusing North Carolina flavors with international influences. Jill Marcus is our guest today on The @Work Podcast.
