Underestimated
to unprecedented

Martha Sanders Hoover is a visionary entrepreneur who went from sex-crimes prosecutor to building an award-winning restaurant empire.

A six-time James Beard Foundation finalist and one of Food & Wine’s most Influential Women in Food, she’s also the founder of A Longer Table, an indianapolis-based not for profit that has served over a million meals to kids facing food insecurity. After selling her restaurant group, she launched Second Rodeo-her self-described “spite company,” unapologetically proving that going from underestimated to unprecedented can happen at any age.
