Description

Join Chef Simon Zatyrka, as he opens the door to candid conversations with the hospitality industry's most innovative leaders. Each episode runs the gamut from chefs talking about the community and cultures of kitchens to tech innovators talking about their concept to push the hospitality industry forward. You can expect a blend of battle-tested restaurant wisdom and modern leadership insights that challenge "the way it's always been done". You never know when the conversations about the business of hospitality are going to shift gears to discuss wood fired cookery, the camraderie of kitchen teams or the delusions of friends wanting to open a bar because they like sitting in one. New episodes drop weekly. Subscribe now to join a community of leaders who are as passionate about the business of hospitality, people and leadership as they are about food and cooking. Welcome to our sandbox.
