This entire episode is about guacamole. Kidding. But Grainmaker DOES serve bomb Thai guac all day every day and it's a staple now in our diet. This week we chat with Chris Freeman, of Grainmaker and Freeman Ventures. Grainmaker is a Boston based fast-casual restaurant built off the traditions of Southeast Asian street culture and blended with a chef-driven, contemporary menu. They partner with small, local businesses and believe that fostering community is the only way to bring about positive change - and that it all starts at the table.

 

Chris dives into...

  • The good, bad, and ugly of entrepreneurship
  • working at Burger King
  • Living in Europe and leaving a job and steady salary to start his own venture
  • Fine tuning a restaurant menu
  • Southeast Asian culture + cuisine and why its so health conscious
  • The broken system of the food service industry
  • How he's trying to create culture change with Grainmaker
  • Why "fostering local Boston" is so important to him and his company
