Anthony and Kimi are siblings.

They grew up in the Oakridge neighbourhood of London, ON and spent most of their childhood together fighting. But they both shared a love of flying on airplanes and eating at restaurants. Eventually Anthony became less annoying, so the siblings started to travel together and eat at expensive restaurants for fun. Then one day, Kimi suggested they start a food business. So they did.

Disclaimer: Anthony may not have been as annoying as suggested in the paragraph above.
