Kassady Wiggins & Sammy Monsour on scoring a lucrative cookbook deal

The band is back together. Today, we sit down with my old partners in crime from my restaurant group, Executive Chef Sammy Monsour and Beverage Director Kassady Wiggins. We’re discussing how to score a lucrative cookbook deal, what we would do differently if we could start all over again, and how to create a company culture so amazing, employees flock back years after we exited.

Check out their cookbook, Salt and Shore: Recipes from the Coastal South wherever books are sold.

The Takeaway: Build a Club, Not a Loyalty Program

2 de octubre de 2026

What if your loyalty program is the reason your guests feel nothing? Punch cards and points reward a transaction.
