According to the website “As a whole, Work & Class reflects the working class background and down-to-earth ethos of its two owners: Tony Maciag, a Detroit native and Dana Rodriguez, who grew up on a farm in Chihuahua, Mexico. This explains why the menu is at once American and Latin American, why we say that we’re “good food, no fuss,” and why every pour is two ounces,” and added “So, whether you’re looking to celebrate a promotion, need a fun spot for a first date, or had a long day and need to throw a few back, Work & Class is your place. We’ll welcome you the way we welcome everyone, with arms wide open and a square meal and stiff drink—at a fair price, of course.” In November 2021, she was appointed as the executive chef of Denver’s iconic Casa Bonita restaurant, which is owned by South Park co-creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone.
