What I love about doing these podcasts is learning about people!  I thought 90% of our conversation today was going to be about Chris' new venture as he opens a "pop-up" Greek restaurant in Point Pleasant Beach.  Well... Chris has such a fun and unique back story, we spent a great deal of time getting to know his roots.  Enjoy this episode and please support Chris' new venture as he reopens after the New Year.

Be sure to follow Chris' journey on social media @thegreekspointbeach

Happy New Year to All!
