The Journey from Chef to Owner with Angie Mar
Opening Soon Presents: "The Build"
09/25/19 • 45 min
Most of the guests on the show work for various chefs and restaurateurs before striking out on their own. But our guest today doesn't do things like most people. Angie Mar took the helm of the storied Beatrice Inn and then negotiated to purchase it from the owners a few years later. Angie is a lover of all things meat. She was a Food & Wine BNW in 2017, the year after she purchased the Beatrice Inn, which is still one of the hardest reservations to get in NYC.

Building a business on Bologna with the Trashalachian crew
Opening Soon Presents: "The Build"
02/20/21 • 38 min
The world has gone on pause, and whether you agree with it or not, our government and our society have seemingly dealt a near-death blow to every restauranteur out there. So when all bets are off, why not try something new? Something you’ve been thinking about for years, or perhaps something you and your friend concocted in a late-night, buzz-induced brainstorming session.
Today’s marketplace is the perfect time to try something creative, perhaps super low-budget, but don’t forget to make it good. This season we’re very much into the new hustle. Collaborations, pop-ups, the scrappy, and the lean-minded. Diners, whether still at home or newly vaccinated, are in dire need of fresh food from some fresh minds.
Today we’re joined with 3 chefs from Asheville, NC. Rob Jones from The Chop Shop Butchery, Graham House of Session Cafe, and Andrew Mcleod of Ave M., who have teamed up to pop-up every Monday and Tuesday. Trashalachian is the side hustle of side hustles.

Creating a unique and authentic space with Kate & Ben Towill of Basic Projects
Opening Soon Presents: "The Build"
07/06/20 • 43 min
This week we’re airing an episode that starts back in January where we caught up with Ben and Kate Towil of Basic Projects and Post House Tavern & Inn on thier unique approach to design. The follow up conversation to the first was recorded at the Charlseton Wine and Food Festival in early March days before lockdowns first went into place. Today Ben and Kate have completed their renovation but have paused their opening until they better understand how to proceed in light of the pandemic.
In March, HRN began producing all of our 35 weekly shows from our homes all around the country. It was hard work stepping away from our little recording studio, but we know that you rely on HRN to share resources and important stories from the world of food each week. It’s been a tough year for all of us, but right now HRN is asking for your help. Every dollar that listeners give to HRN provides essential support to keep our mics on. We've got some fresh new thank you gifts available, like our limited edition bandanas.

What is the PPP anyway? And will it help the hospitality industry?
Opening Soon Presents: "The Build"
04/10/20 • 38 min
We’re back with another episode of RE-Opening soon, talking to chefs, restaurateurs and those in the hospitality business about the impacts of the Coronavirus Crisis. We’ve spoken with chefs on closing down, pivoting to delivery, approaching their local government and mental health and well being in this unprecedented era. Now we chat financial healing. There are predictions that more than 75% of independent restaurants may not make it back from this crisis. With 11 million people and employed directly by independent restaurants, they serve as a hub for the community and we all need them to come back. We know the industry will beat these odds but we also know we need help and support. The government passed CAREs on 3/27. Since then the SBA and banks have been scrambling to get applications live and small businesses are trying to figure out what it all means. Our guest today is Ben McCrery, president of One Park Financial in Miami, Florida. The last name is not a coincidence; Ben is Alex’s brother. He also happens to be an expert in small business lending, and has helped secure over $7M in funding for restaurants. Ben has been instrumental in helping Tilit navigate the loans and assistance available due to the crisis.

The Re-Making of a 125-year-old Legend Gage & Tollner Waits a Little Longer
Opening Soon Presents: "The Build"
08/20/20 • 52 min
Restoration is defined as the act of returning something to its former condition or, in this case, grandeur. The team behind Gage & Tollner worked tirelessly throughout 2019 and into 2020 to restore a legend of the Brooklyn dining scene. They were slated to open on March 15th (dare I call into conversation the famous Julius Caesar line?). We all know what happened next. While the world is anxiously awaiting our opportunity for restoration within our own businesses the team behind Gage and Tollner is doing so just as eagerly to share this gem with the city of New York.
Our guests today are Sohui Kim and St. John Frizell; partners in Gage & Tollner and seasoned restauranteurs with several beloved establishments in BK between them.

Re-Opening with Kwame Onwuachi
Opening Soon Presents: "The Build"
06/10/20 • 30 min
It’s been 2 weeks since our last episode of re-opening soon and in that short time our country is marching towards a long awaited change. Stay at home orders to curb the COVID-19 pandemic are lifting across the country for better or worse. Time will yield the result of how the pandemic has truly affected restaurants. But even bigger than the pandemic, spurred by police brutality and the death of George Floyd, the US has been reckoning with a long history of systemic racism across all walks of life including the hospitality world. That can be seen in regards to financial access, growth opportunity and media coverage to start. Today we talk about what reopening means in this turbulent climate. Our guest today is Kwame Onwuachi, Executive Chef and Creator of Kith/Kin in Washington DC. which just reopened for service this past Friday. Kwame is a JBF Rising Star and F&W Best New Chef. Kwame is also an author of Notes from a Young Black Chef. Kwame is an active member of the Independent Restaurant Coalition which has been advocating for industry support during the COVID Crisis.
HRN will be donating 10% of our membership drive proceeds from now until June 15 to the Philando Castile Relief Foundation. Visit heritageradionetwork.org/donate to make your gift.
