U.S. Olympic Gold Medalist and World Champion Allyson Felix knows a thing or two about competition at the highest levels. Her incredible track and field career has led her to be the "winningest athlete of all time" and a champion for mothers everywhere. However, her athletic career is just the beginning of her tremendous story of "creating something out of nothing." Over the flavors of her favorite childhood restaurant, Harold and Belle's in LA, Allyson shares her tale of turning a setback into a setup for an entirely different kind of success. When Nike wouldn't support her pregnancy during her athletic career, Allyson decided to create her own footwear company that would put mothers' first. Allyson is now the CEO of Founder of Saysh, where she is marrying her competitive spirit and her fierce advocacy of maternal rights.

About To Dine for with Kate Sullivan:

If you ask someone to name their favorite restaurant, you're likely to get a revealing answer.

TO DINE FOR WITH KATE SULLIVAN uses this very question as a foundation for a conversation with an array of bright and innovative minds.

In this new series, four-time Emmy Award-winning journalist Kate Sullivan accompanies 10 different guests to their favorite restaurants.

They experience the atmosphere, the location, the ambience, and eat what they love.

Over dinner, Kate's guests - entrepreneurs, change agents, musicians, actors, newsmakers and others - discuss their early lives, their struggles, their successes, the American dream, and how they have tried to achieve it.

This season, Kate travels to Seattle to meet with Howard Schultz, CEO of Starbucks.

While there they dine at Mamnoon, a Middle Eastern restaurant known for flavors so good "they'll make you cry." Then, she flies to Chicago to visit with Nike designer Jason Mayden, who grew up on the South Side of the city.

Jason takes her to Giordano's Deep Dish pizza to tell her why he loves Chicago, and how it fueled his imagination and dreams.
