Bruce Finkelman has helped build an empire of food and music venues that have entertained millions of Chicagoans. From the Empty Bottle to Longman & Eagle to Thalia Hall, Finkelman has married his passion for food and music throughout the city along with his longtime business partner Craig Golden. The Salt Shed, his biggest venture yet, begins indoor concerts this week. During his chat with David Manilow, Finkelman defines what he calls "hospi-totally."

Also, Crain’s Ally Marotti stops by to report on the glitz of celebrity dining and the expansion of a popular steakhouse, Chicago Cut. And in this edition of "Where Dave Ate," Manilow takes us on a tour of old school diners that’ll make your day. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company. See https://pcm.adswizz.com
