Robert Guarino, the maestro behind the tantalizing creations at 5 Napkin Burger in the concrete jungle of NYC, embarked on his culinary journey as a teenage table-busser. Eventually, he found himself in the hallowed halls of Cornell Hotel School, where he fine-tuned his craft. Destiny led him to cross paths with the enigmatic Simon Oren in 2001, who recognized Robert's prowess and brought him aboard as the GM at the vibrant Marseille. Together, they launched Nizza in 2007, an appetizing prelude to the birth of the legendary 5 Napkin Burger in 2008. The venture expanded to an impressive seven locations, only to later return to its core, with two quintessential establishments nestled in the heart of NYC. Robert's gastronomic footprint extends further, as he's also contributed to other mouthwatering neighborhood concepts like the lively Playa Betty's and the irresistible Schmackary's Cookies. As well as the soon to be open Sempre Oggi, aggressively seasonal, vegetable forward, modern Italian restaurant opening 2023 on Manhattan's Upper West Side.

Rob is telling his story of opening Sempre Oggi over Instagram, check it out and give him a follow!

Welcome back to The National Restaurant Owners Podcast!

In this episode, we are joined by Amir Mostavai.

Amir is the founder of South Block & local pioneer in bringing cold-pressed juice, smoothies & acai bowls to the DC area. Amir first fell in love with juicing while soaking up rays on a trip to Southern California back in 1998. It wasn’t just any juice that Amir fell in love with… no, it was the fresh, healthful, sustainable, and high-quality ingredients he found while in California. After jet-setting back east, Amir could not find that same freshness in DC. That was when he knew that it was time to bring the juice revolution to his backyard!
