Mildred Council opened Mama Dip’s Kitchen with $64 in 1976. After 49 years of serving the community as a local institution, the restaurant permanently shut its doors in July. Spring Council was 19 when she first started working at her mother’s restaurant. She said in the beginning, the Councils were waiting for people to discover the delicious food.
