Christina "Christy" Vega Fowler, the spirited, talented, and dynamic owner of Casa Vega, was born in Burbank, CA, to a long line of restaurateurs who immigrated to Southern California from Tijuana, Mexico, in the late 1930s. Her father, Rafael Vega, followed in the family footsteps and opened Casa Vega in 1956 in Sherman Oaks, CA, at the young age of 22, and following her father, Christy has taken the restaurant reins to ensure that Casa Vega remains a Los Angeles landmark for generations to come. In 2010, Christy was named one of the "Top 40 under 40" business professionals by the San Fernando Business Journal. She has also appeared in segments for the Rachael Ray Show and NBC’s Today Show.
