Listen Later

This is the story of Emily Hyland, the co-founder of the wildly popular restaurants Pizza Loves Emily and Emmy Squared. This was a fantastic conversation and it wasn’t just because we talked about pizza and burgers the whole time. 

In this episode, we discuss:

-        Emily’s journey from poetry and teaching to be a restauranteur

-        Starting a pizza restaurant with her husband

-        The heartbreak of getting a divorce while expanding the business

-        How the restaurant business changed during Covid-19 

-        Adding burgers to their menu and creating the most popular burger in New York City

 

To quote one of my favorite food review sites, The Infatuation, "We love everything about Emily. It's the kind of restaurant you walk into and immediately know you're in a place where good things happen...You need to trust us on this one. That Emily, damn is she fine." I couldn't have said it better. 

Please enjoy this episode with the fantastic Emily Hyland.
