Very happy to have Hospitality Giants, Meeru Dhalwala and Shira Blustein on this weeks podcast. They talk about their restaurant Lila up on Main st. How they partnered on the project, how it all came together and how it is going. They give very scholarly advice on the restaurant business and how being precise, but agile helps with success. I hope you enjoy the conversation as much as I did. As always please DM me comments on Instagram.

In the summer of 2006 I met a young Chef opening his first new restaurant Gastropod, right beside my new restaurant, Fuel. We became fast friends and have been working together in one way or another ever since, Chef Angus An is a Chef and Restaurateur in the truest definition. He and his team have opened eight very successful restaurants, all garnering much critical acclaim and solid business. I hope you enjoy his story and his advice to young restaurateurs and Chefs out there.

I am very happy to have this next guest to the Podcast. I love talking with people who are trying to affect change in our hospitality industry. Mark von Shellwitz has been representing Western Canada on behalf of Restaurants Canada for almost 30years. We dive right into some of the tough subjects, from tipping, to work safe and CRA, to his long history tied to the more political side or policy side of this complicated business. It was great chatting with him and better understanding his role and the national role that Restaurants Canada does for all of us. I hope you enjoy the conversation and as always if you know of someone I should chat with please DM me their contact information.
