Listen Later

On today's podcast Eric is joined by Tim Reading of Leo's River Oaks. Eric and Tim discuss Tim's journey into the culinary scene, his time in Boston, coming to Houston, working with Hugo Ortega, what he would have changed with his first solo concept, his mission at Georgia James Tavern, the golden age of roast chicken (I couldn't not put that quote in the description), how the relationship with Culinary Concepts began, overseeing the construction of Leo's, why the layout of the concept works so well, the menu offerings at Leo's River Oaks, the reception from customers so far, and much more!
