Felix Godward
Founder of Felix Empanadas. Started with a trailer in Charlotte in 2017; now on Orchard St in New York, at Optimist Hall and Latta Arcade in Charlotte, and soon in Miami.
Felix wanted an authentic empanada with a modern, fusion twist. Every one is still folded by hand, and the lineup has grown to more than 21 flavors, from Argentinian Street Beef to Lobster, Corn & Chive. He runs the kitchens with his brother, Ivan Godward.
Felix also helps food businesses that are just getting started: free for certain jobs, paid for bigger restaurants.
