S4 E66 CHEF SPOTLIGHT: Effe Café's Patty Lopez

Send us a text

Patty Lopez’s journey begins in Hialeah. Her love for food and curiosity led her to New York, where she launched her culinary career. Eventually, she made her way to Italy, where fate intervened at a two-Michelin-starred restaurant, introducing her to her husband and business partner, Nunzio Fuschillo.

Back in South Florida, Patty worked alongside some of our city’s great culinary talents, including at Fort Lauderdale’s Valentino’s, Michael’s Genuine, and Aventura’s Bourbon Steak, before co-founding Effe Café in Cooper City — a thriving spot uniquely located inside a gas station.

In this episode, Patty reflects on her path, the lessons learned along the way, and the philosophy that drives her approach to running Effe Café.
