Jeff and his long-time business partner and ex-wife, Helen “Lennie” Busch,” have run a Bloomington food empire for nearly four decades. When the pandemic and ensuing shutdown hit almost a year ago, their businesses, like so many others in this town, suffered. Still they survive, mainly because the pizza delivery business is running as strong-or stronger-than ever. Jeff talks about the challenges he and Lennie face in the Age of COVID. Part 1 of this conversation aired Thursday, January 28, 2021.

Host Michael Glab goes one-on-one with Bloomington’s most fascinating people every Thursday at 5:30pm.
