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.

Lien Ta, managing partner of All Day Baby and the former Here’s Looking at You in Los Angeles,CA.

Her story is not singular, it is shared by many.
Since this season is all about money, today we talk about the financial decisions that behind closing Here’s Looking at You and the same decisions that made it viable to push forward with All Day Baby.

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.

Permitting: Into the Great Unknown
Opening Soon Presents: "The Build"
02/25/20 • 44 min
Permitting may be the one piece in the puzzle that is mostly out of your control. There is typically a collective groan by business owners when the word permit and the associated regulatory agencies are uttered. These agencies are often overworked and understaffed and have the ability to delay your project and add to the budget. But there are ways to mitigate the risk and ensure you are prepared. Today’s Guest is Julia Jaksic chef/owner of beloved all day cafe, Cafe Roze in Nashville TN. Julia is currently building Roze Pony, an all day market café opening in Belle Meade area of Nashville in late spring 2020. We last spoke to Julia on January 21st as she was preparing to submit her building plans for permits. Let’s take a listen to our conversation from January...

Opening Soon Presents: "The Build"
11/12/19 • 56 min
There are lots of ways to define the type of restaurant you will open, one of the more inviting ideas is that of a neighborhood restaurant. A neighborhood restaurant helps foster community, transcends trendiness and carries with it the potential to be around for a very long time. Obviously that takes understanding the location of your business and the patrons that will populate it. A feat Happy Cooking Hospitality has achieved very successfully.
At the helm and our guest is founder and CEO Gabriel Stulman.

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.
