From a pastry chef at The Wichita Club to owner of one of Iowa Park’s most popular eateries, Sally Harlow has been in the restaurant business for three years and a local cook for seven. “For several years I was a pastry chef at the Wichita Club. During that time, my catering business grew,” Harlow said. “Eventually, I was approached by the city to do the restaurant in the airport (Gourmet on The Fly).”

With a little bit of help from her mother, Chi Chi Price, Harlow has successfully transition her restaurant from ‘Gourmet on The Fly’ to ‘Doorway to Gourmet’. “I have a certain idea that I have with my restaurant and food and it was difficult to display this while in the airport,” Harlow said. “Now that we’re in a neighborhood we’re closer to people, down the street from a school, and this has brought better opportunities.”

The theory behind Sally’s cooking is sticking to the basics. “My cooking is simple. Good, but simple,” Harlow said. “I don’t add to much flash, but I can guarantee you that it will be delicious. Don’t be afraid to step out the box”. She continues and mentions when it comes to cooking it’s all about trial and error,” Yes I follow some recipes off of Pinterest, but I imagine what would go good with this and that,” she said, “It’s all about being brave. At the end of the day, it’s just food and ingredients.”
