Have you ever wondered what goes into owning and operating some of the BEST restaurants in Charlotte? I'd say it's our personal opinion that Supperland is the best, but Bon Appétit agrees, naming Supperland one of the "Best New Restaurants" of 2022! In this episode, we sat down with our friends and restaurateurs Jeff Tonidandel and Jamie Brown of the Tonidandel-Brown Restaurant Group, the minds behind Supperland, Haberdish, and more! We talked about entrepreneurship, how they got into the restaurant business, and their newest dining concept!

Restaurants mentioned:

• Supperland
• Haberdish
• Ever Andalo
• Growlers Pourhouse
• Reigning Doughnuts

In this episode, we talk about…

• How we serendipitously ran into Jeff & Jamie in Rome, Italy (what are the odds??)
• The inspiration behind Supperland and reimagining the steakhouse restaurant concept
• Jamie & Jeff's passion for salvaging old buildings (Supperland is in an old church building!)
• What it was like to be a restaurant owner during the pandemic
• Their philosophies around taking great care of people that work for them
• How they became restaurateurs after deciding to quit their jobs and travel full time
• Their next restaurant endeavor coming soon!
