The pandemic was not kind to restaurant owners. Let alone someone who has opened multiple restaurants and tried to stay afloat. But, as all entrepreneurs do, one has to find a way to adapt and overcome.

Chef Andrew Gruel joins Adam Schroeder and Naresh Vissa to discuss his business journey; how he's managed to buck the odds and build a thriving portfolio, as well as some tips for how work from homers can eat better, easier.

Andrew is a judge on Food Network's "Food Truck Face Off" and host of FYI's "Say It to My Face!". He's also the founder, CEO and Executive Chef of Slapfish, a seafood restaurant franchise based out of Huntington Beach, California; Big Parm, a pizza restaurant in Tustin, California; and Two Birds, a chicken restaurant in Irvine, California.
