Send us a text
Ever wonder what it takes to transition from being a dishwasher to owning your own restaurant? Or what is truly considered SUSTAINABLE nowadays?
Our good friend and fellow chef Brent Cowan of Heirloom joins us to share his journey and discuss the healthy competition and camaraderie that fuels the culinary world.
We unpack the inspiration behind the name "Heirloom" and its deep generational significance, exploring the aspiration to pass down a culinary legacy while taking bold steps to establish a restaurant in a less conventional location.
We dive into the challenges of working with small farmers and the reality of adapting menus to unpredictable weather. Our dedication to authentic, farm-to-table dining is unwavering, even if it means sourcing from afar to maintain the highest standards. Listen as we highlight the relationships forged with local farmers and the passion that drives every dish prepared in our kitchens.
Running a fine dining establishment is no small feat, and we candidly share the trials of managing customer expectations, the financial pressures, and the often-overlooked etiquette that can make or break a dining experience. From the psychological impact of negative reviews to the nuances of guest etiquette, we explore it all with humor and personal anecdotes. Finally, we look ahead to exciting collaborations and the ongoing pursuit of culinary excellence, underscoring the importance of teamwork and innovation in bringing exceptional dining experiences to the community.
