    Today’s episode needs fixed!!
    Hey Josh, listen to your podcast daily! Today’s most recent show needs edited badly. The clips run over each other so everyone is talking at the same time and then long silent pauses! Other than that, this podcast is great!! Love it. Great guest, very pertinent info.

    Smart + Practical
    Fantastic content that covers so much more than good food and restaurant life (business leadership, strategy and planning, personal growth and values, etc). One of the best things to come out of COVID-19.
  • Monica-SF
    Great insight into the evolving restaurant business
    This is an entertaining and interesting podcast featuring conversations between restaurateurs. These people know the business inside and out, and it’s fun hearing their stories from the past and listen to them discuss how the pandemic will completely change this industry forever. A must-listen for anyone working in this industry or who just loves eating out.

    An Awesome Touch of Realness!
    This podcast is not only genius, but awesome! Interviewer Josh, a restaurant owner himself, sheds light on the perspective of restaurants by interviewing those in the industry that have “done it themselves”, offering amazing insight. It seems as these guest are holding nothing back. After listening to guests journey, I feel inspired, happy, and driven to take my own journey!

    Secret look into what REALLY goes on in the restaurant world
    Love Josh Kopel’s new podcast! As the owner of one of LA’s hottest restaurants, he is particularly suited to “serve” the restauranteur community in navigating our new normal. But you don’t need to be a restaurant owner to love this podcast...you just need to be someone who cares what the industry is going to look like post COVID. If you love restaurants and you love business, you will eat up this podcast!
  • Sammy Monsour
    Great Host, Great Guests!
    This isn’t the podcast you listen to for cheesy one liners—this guy is a legit host that’s having intelligent and deep conversation with some truly remarkable hospitality industry leaders.
  • Wawachees
    Very inspiring!
    It is so refreshing to listen to fellow members of the hospitality industry give amazing insight and advice on our industry! I love hearing first hand information from true entrepreneurs who truly love this wonderful profession we have chosen! Well done!
  • @joey.rubin
    We needed this!
    This is a great idea for the hospitality industry. Really glad someone thought of this. The interviews are inspiring to hear other folks in the business that have built up their careers and it’s not too long. I went for a walk and listened to Erik from Tender Greens and so far that’s the best walk I’ve taken in a month.
