Ep #11 - Andrew Parr honors us with stories of his brother, Jefrrey Parr, industry giant
Andrew Parr is Founder + Chief Advisor of Angry Olive Consulting in Denver, CO. We discuss his pilgrimage to Green Bay for his first Packers Game. We deep dive into stories of his younger brother, Jeffrey Parr, a giant in our industry, who passed far too young. We also get the opportunity to chat with one of his great mentors, Mark Feeley.
First job in the industry?
Busser and dishwasher at a small, local, independent casual dining restaurant in suburban Milwaukee
Food and/or drinks staples in your house?
Secret Stadium Sauce. It is made for Sports Service, the concessionaire at Miller Park in Milwaukee, and Milwaukee County Stadium before that. It is not BBQ sauce, and it is not Ketchup…it is...Secret Stadium Sauce. Just can’t eat a brat without it. I am a huge baseball fan, and the memories it evokes from the smell, the flavor, and the iconic bottle are endless!
Two things most people don't know about you?
I have only been to Lambeau Field once, and it was September of last year. I have my brother's copy of The New Larousse Gastronomique from when he was in culinary school at CIA - Hyde Park, NY
Words to live by?
"Leadership is a potent combination of strategy and character. But if you must be without one, be without the strategy." - Gen. Norman Schwarzkopf, Jr.
