They, along with Jim Grainger, own the quirky and fun family-run pizzeria, Cross Eyed Cow Pizza sits on the iconic Route 66 in Oro, Grande, California. 

Weather has taken the reins to lead the pizzeria into the future. She was honored at PizzaCon as the recipient of the 2024 Young Entrepreneur of Year in the PIE Awards. More on the PIE Awards at https://pizzatoday.com/pie-awards/. We talk about the business and where she is taking it.  

We also talk creativity in Cross Eyed Cow Pizza and how it helps the business succeed. Weather explains her creative process and the focus on repurposing.
