The television show premiered just prior to Singh running her first marathon[citation needed] and opening her second restaurant, Seven Lions, an American concept, located on Chicago's Michigan Avenue.
[8] Singh sold her ownership in Seven Lions in October 2017 while preparing to run for public office (Cook County commissioner for the Third District), which she later decided against pursuing.
[9] According to Eater, Singh stated in July 2018 she sold ownership of both her restaurants The Boarding House and Seven Lions in October 2017.
