Following this, while attending and studying economics and business, she worked in campus dining halls and part-time for a former army cook who encouraged her to pursue culinary training professionally. After graduating from the Culinary Institute of America in 1977, Feniger secured her first high-profile kitchen position at Le Perroquet, a renowned French restaurant in Chicago, entering a predominantly male environment as one of the earliest women hired there. At Le Perroquet, she honed skills in classic French techniques under intense conditions, marking her transition from entry-level roles to fine-dining operations; this period also introduced her to Mary Sue Milliken, who had preceded her as one of the few female hires. These early experiences at Le Perroquet laid foundational expertise in rigorous kitchen discipline, which Feniger later credited for building resilience amid the era's gender barriers in professional cooking. By late , she relocated to , taking preparatory roles that preceded collaborative ventures, though specifics on interim positions remain limited in documented accounts.

Partnership Formation and Key Collaborations

Feniger and Milliken met in the late 1970s while working as the first female line cooks at the acclaimed French restaurant Le Perroquet in , where Feniger had joined after graduating from . Their shared experiences in a male-dominated kitchen fostered a professional bond, leading them to relocate to together. In 1981, they formalized their partnership by opening City Cafe, a compact 35-seat venue on that showcased global influences drawn from their travels and training. This debut collaboration emphasized fresh, ingredient-driven dishes and marked one of the earliest instances of women chefs launching an independent restaurant in . The duo's partnership gained momentum with the 1985 launch of Border Grill, initially a modest 40-seat "taco stand" on dedicated to authentic yet innovative inspired by their research trips to . This venture shifted their focus toward regional Mexican flavors, earning critical praise and a for the concept, while establishing them as pioneers in elevating food beyond stereotypes in American dining. They later relocated City Cafe to a larger space, rebranding it as CITY, which operated from the early 1980s until its closure in 1994 and featured pan-international menus blending Asian, Latin, and European elements. Key collaborations extended beyond restaurants to media and publishing, including their co-hosting of the Food Network series Too Hot Tamales in the 1990s, which aired nearly 400 episodes demystifying Mexican cooking techniques and ingredients for a broad audience.

That same year, they earned the Gold Award for excellence and innovation in cuisine. Feniger is frequently described in professional profiles as a James Beard Award-winning chef, with the accolade tied to the broader validation of her and Milliken's national culinary footprint following key restaurant openings.

Business Challenges and Adaptations

Restaurant Setbacks and Closures

In 1994, Feniger and her longtime collaborator Mary Sue Milliken closed their flagship City Restaurant on La Brea Avenue in Los Angeles after 13 years of operation, amid challenging economic conditions for the city's restaurant industry. The venue, which had pioneered pan-global cuisine, was sold to restaurateur Ron Salisbury, who relocated his Sonora Cafe to the space; no exact closure date was set, but operations were expected to continue for at least six weeks following the March 27 announcement. Feniger expressed regret over the end, stating, "I wish I could say we are going to be around for 25 years, but that just wasn’t meant to be," while highlighting the strength of their newer Border Grill outpost in Santa Monica. Feniger faced further closures in 2016, including the shuttering of Mud Hen Tavern in Hollywood, which she had rebranded from her earlier concept in 2013. The gastropub-style venue at 742 N. Highland Avenue ceased operations on October 11, 2016, with staff notified shortly beforehand; had originally debuted in 2009 as a global street-food showcase but underwent the transformation to appeal to neighborhood diners with American comfort fare. That same year, Feniger and Milliken announced the closure of the original Border Grill in Santa Monica after 26 years, with the Fourth Street location ending service in mid-October. The decision followed a period of reflection, during which the owners hosted farewell events featuring throwback menu items and expressed appreciation for patrons and staff; they indicated plans to retool the space for a new, unspecified concept while maintaining other Border Grill outposts. Specific factors such as lease terms or market shifts were not detailed publicly, though the timing aligned with broader pressures on legacy restaurants in high-rent coastal areas.

Responses to Criticisms

Feniger has responded to critiques of her Street restaurant (2009–2014), which drew complaints for charging upscale prices—often $10–20 per dish—for food inspired by global street vendors, diverging from low-cost authenticity expectations. In a 2009 Los Angeles Times profile, this pricing mismatch was highlighted as a key detractor amid otherwise positive reception for its bold flavors and execution. Feniger countered by framing the concept as an intentional elevation of street food traditions using premium ingredients and refined techniques, arguing it brought underrepresented cuisines like Hungarian lángos or Filipino kwek-kwek to American diners in a sustainable restaurant format rather than literal replication. After Street's closure due to financial pressures including high operational costs in Los Angeles' competitive market, Feniger rejected labeling it a total failure, noting in 2023 interviews that "lots of restaurants open and close" and emphasizing enduring customer loyalty, with patrons later approaching her to call it their "favorite restaurant experience ever." She positioned the venture's end as a pivotal lesson in resilience, stating the true measure of success lies in "how you deal with failure" by scraping oneself "off the sidewalk" to innovate further, as explored in the 2024 documentary Forked, which documents her subsequent pop-up experiments and underscores ambition's costs without defeatism. Regarding Border Grill closures, such as the Santa Monica location after 26 years in 2016 amid rising rents and shifting dining trends, Feniger and partner attributed setbacks to external economic factors rather than conceptual flaws, pivoting to airport licensing deals and new formats like Socalo to sustain their Mexican-inspired empire. Feniger has addressed implied partnership strains—occasionally speculated in media—by crediting regular for their longevity since 1985, quipping it as the "secret" to navigating disputes without romanticizing or denying tensions. This pragmatic adaptation counters narratives of decline, with Feniger affirming in 2025 reflections that business evolution demands flexibility over clinging to originals.
