In this episode Jon Birdsong sits down with Chef Ron Hsu to talk about the genesis story behind his restaurant, the constant back and forth between chef and entrepreneur, and the decisions he made along the way to create some of Atlanta's best food.

The Atlanta Story is put together by the folks at Atlanta Ventures. Atlanta Ventures invests in entrepreneurs through community, content, and capital -- most notably through our Studio with companies like Greenzie and Intown Golf Club. We believe the best entrepreneurs learn from other great artists in different fields.

1. Ron's origin story.
2. Ron's creative process from idea to execution of opening a restaurant in Atlanta
3. Learnings from Ron's time at Le Bernardin.
4. What makes a great chef.
5. What inspired the Lazy Betty menu and the evolution of the menu today...and in the future.
6. How does a top chef balance family life while building such incredible art.
7. What's ahead regarding the 3-10 year vision.
