Shiro and Candices Gourmet Sandwiches landed on my plate the same weekend, and I'm still thinking about both. At Candice's, a Banh Mi with tofu tasted better than it had at any of my previous jaunts, while Thai salad proved healthy food doesn't have to be boring. Over at Shiro, sushi arrived looking like art and tasting like the decade of experience behind it. One place let me show up in whatever I was wearing. The other deserved a dress code written in its towering Buddha and polished floors. Both knew exactly what they were doing.

Her vision went far beyond physical training; it embraced holistic well-being — mental, emotional, and spiritual fitness — long before wellness became a global buzzword.
