Today's Women's History Month spotlight is Patrice Cleary, owner of Purple Patch and newly opened Joia Burger which just held their grand opening event on March 6th.⁠ ⁠ Patrice Cleary was born in the Philippines to a Filipino mother from Bicol, and an American father from Massachusetts. Her family moved to the U.S. when she was still a baby. Early in life Patrice realized that the kitchen and food was a way for her mother to hold onto her identity. She soon found herself right alongside her mother helping her prepare dishes for family and friends and then catering for big parties.⁠ ⁠ Taking a leap of faith and believing in herself, Patrice and her family opened Purple Patch, a Filipino-American restaurant on March 17, 2015. She has dedicated most of the menu to her mother’s recipes and Filipino cuisine. ⁠ ⁠ Patrice opened Joia Burger on March 6, 2024. Joie Burger specializes in burgers, fries, and ice cream. The name Joia also Harkens back to Cleary’s childhood. She lived for a while in the Azores, Portugal, where she raced horses. The name of her first horse was Joia, meaning joy.⁠ ⁠ #WomensHistoryMonth⁠ #WHM⁠ #granopening
