Armed with a crepe stove, Cinzano umbrellas, blue-and-white checkered tablecloths and "a whole lot of nerve," Sascha Wolhandler decided to open an outdoor cafe in Baltimore during the 1970s, after being inspired by her European travels. In the 1980s, she expanded by starting Sascha's Catering and Sascha's Silver Sacs, a lunchtime delivery service.

Wolhandler, a native of upstate New York, no longer owns an outdoor cafe. But she does own Sascha's 527 Cafe - a popular Mount Vernon eatery that offers global cuisine - in addition to her catering and lunchtime delivery businesses. The self-professed fledgling Francophile lives in Fells Point with her husband/business partner, Stephen Suser.
