This week, we sit down with Kevin Brown, former CEO and one of the earliest employees of the renowned restaurant group Lettuce Entertain You, whose depth, variety, and consistent success have made it a cornerstone of the hospitality world. Kevin’s creative instincts, quiet wisdom, and sharp business acumen have been central to the company’s remarkable growth over the decades. He joins us in the studio to share insights into the evolution of Lettuce, the secrets behind its enduring appeal, and stories from his own journey — from accepting the job in the ’70s while sitting in a car, to behind-the-scenes tales of Shaw’s, to a look ahead at what’s next for the company. This episode dives deep into what makes Lettuce a perennial powerhouse — and the people who keep it thriving.
