MSNBC:
A metro Detroit mother of six said she’s hoping that opening a new restaurant will be enough to support her family.
Scrubbing, determination and hope are the first ingredients Suzanne Zoellner has used to get her new cooking business, LuLu White’s Chicken And Dumplings, started.
Zoellner said she has not been able to find employment for two years, her home is in foreclosure, bills are mounting and as a single mother with children to support, she had to do something. After getting a few loans from friends, Zoellner said the idea for a restaurant came from what she does best.
“Use the talents you have, which right now, raising six kids, is cooking,” she said. “And I’m a great cook.”
She also said she’s trying to teach her kids a lesson along the way.
“With kids, their lifestyle changes with the economy. Things are not handed to them anymore,” she said.
