Gigi Rogers, an interior designer who has lived in New York City, London, Los Angeles, Vienna and Barcelona, isn’t shy about enjoying some of life’s finer things. That goes from cars — she owns a McLaren 600LT Spider, a Porsche 911 Turbo and a 600 horsepower Range Rover — to food. On the eats, in one example, for the 2020 holidays she had a full Korean dinner flown into Sarasota from famed New York restaurant Momofuku.
