Hello, and welcome to Beyond the Plate
00:00:02.240 --> 00:00:04.550
with Carol, where we will explore food
00:00:04.560 --> 00:00:06.540
and a little beyond. So, come along
00:00:06.550 --> 00:00:08.510
[music] with me on this journey and see
00:00:08.520 --> 00:00:10.910
what we uncover. Welcome to Beyond the
00:00:10.920 --> 00:00:13.150
Plate with Carol. I am sitting inside
00:00:13.160 --> 00:00:14.630
without
00:00:14.640 --> 00:00:17.950
This is Manchester's very first
00:00:17.960 --> 00:00:20.950
alcohol-free bar and restaurant.
00:00:20.960 --> 00:00:22.390
It's right on the corner of Hanover and
00:00:22.400 --> 00:00:25.070
Elm. And
00:00:25.080 --> 00:00:27.430
when this episode airs, I believe that
00:00:27.440 --> 00:00:28.950
you will be open.
00:00:28.960 --> 00:00:30.390
Pretty sure you'll be open by the time
00:00:30.400 --> 00:00:32.310
this episode airs, which is really,
00:00:32.320 --> 00:00:34.790
really cool. I'm really excited to sit
00:00:34.800 --> 00:00:36.230
down with the two of you. I've, you
00:00:36.240 --> 00:00:37.630
know, spoken with you each separately,
00:00:37.640 --> 00:00:39.710
but I'm I'm excited to chat with you
00:00:39.720 --> 00:00:41.990
together, ask you questions.
00:00:42.000 --> 00:00:43.950
And I'm sitting here with Nick Carnes
00:00:43.960 --> 00:00:45.630
and Dan Haggerty.
00:00:45.640 --> 00:00:46.830
So, welcome.
00:00:46.840 --> 00:00:47.390
>> Thanks.
00:00:47.400 --> 00:00:48.630
>> Well, welcome to you.
00:00:48.640 --> 00:00:49.390
>> Welcome to your bar.
00:00:49.400 --> 00:00:50.990
>> Well, welcome to Without.
00:00:51.000 --> 00:00:53.390
>> Yes, I'm very excited. I'm very excited.
00:00:53.400 --> 00:00:55.590
You know, this is kind of fun for me.
00:00:55.600 --> 00:00:58.110
I'm getting to sit down with I've sat
00:00:58.120 --> 00:01:00.230
with each of you separately.
00:01:00.240 --> 00:01:03.750
I sat with you on my episode three, like
00:01:03.760 --> 00:01:07.230
baby episode, right? And at that time,
00:01:07.240 --> 00:01:09.070
this didn't have a name.
00:01:09.080 --> 00:01:10.030
>> Yeah, it was just
00:01:10.040 --> 00:01:11.870
>> It didn't have a name yet. We were
00:01:11.880 --> 00:01:12.670
talking.
00:01:12.680 --> 00:01:14.750
>> me and said, "I'm doing a podcast, come
00:01:14.760 --> 00:01:17.350
down." I said, "All right, sounds good."
00:01:17.360 --> 00:01:21.230
>> And then I sat with you on episode 53,
00:01:21.240 --> 00:01:22.910
and
00:01:22.920 --> 00:01:26.790
Without it had a name. And, you know,
00:01:26.800 --> 00:01:29.110
seeing what you guys have created, you
00:01:29.120 --> 00:01:31.590
know, here I am now sitting here in you
00:01:31.600 --> 00:01:33.550
know, in Without, I'm looking at the
00:01:33.560 --> 00:01:35.950
textures in here and the colors, and and
00:01:35.960 --> 00:01:36.870
we're definitely going to talk about
00:01:36.880 --> 00:01:38.990
that bathroom.
00:01:39.000 --> 00:01:40.470
You know, this is what you guys have
00:01:40.480 --> 00:01:42.670
created. So, how how does that feel
00:01:42.680 --> 00:01:44.310
right now? How is that making you feel?
00:01:44.320 --> 00:01:48.190
>> In this moment, it feels really good
00:01:48.200 --> 00:01:50.830
because we're open.
00:01:50.840 --> 00:01:52.710
Well, by the time this airs, we will
00:01:52.720 --> 00:01:55.310
have already had our soft opening, but
00:01:55.320 --> 00:01:57.750
in real time, we are we have our soft
00:01:57.760 --> 00:01:59.590
opening next week.
00:01:59.600 --> 00:02:01.630
So, to get from
00:02:01.640 --> 00:02:05.190
where this was when we first acquired
00:02:05.200 --> 00:02:09.190
this space to now feels awesome cuz it's
00:02:09.200 --> 00:02:09.990
uh
00:02:10.000 --> 00:02:12.470
you know, you you you picture how things
00:02:12.480 --> 00:02:15.470
are how you want them to go, then you
00:02:15.480 --> 00:02:18.990
then you find out how they can go, so
00:02:19.000 --> 00:02:22.230
you modify you modify some things, but
00:02:22.240 --> 00:02:25.310
it's pretty true to the
00:02:25.320 --> 00:02:27.350
original vision of what we wanted to do
00:02:27.360 --> 00:02:30.550
with the with the space, which was
00:02:30.560 --> 00:02:32.430
um it's a unique
00:02:32.440 --> 00:02:35.070
shaped space in that it's
00:02:35.080 --> 00:02:36.110
>> It is unique.
00:02:36.120 --> 00:02:37.949
>> It's very
00:02:37.959 --> 00:02:40.030
well, it's triangular. One one of the
00:02:40.040 --> 00:02:42.430
walls is just all windows.
00:02:42.440 --> 00:02:44.510
Super the locations I mean, you can't
00:02:44.520 --> 00:02:46.110
get that much location.
00:02:46.120 --> 00:02:46.710
>> Yeah.
00:02:46.720 --> 00:02:49.230
>> Um but it's a unique space in that it it
00:02:49.240 --> 00:02:51.390
bottlenecks at the front. Like we were
00:02:51.400 --> 00:02:52.830
figuring how we're going to shape it so
00:02:52.840 --> 00:02:54.910
that it felt comfortable even though
00:02:54.920 --> 00:02:58.230
it's shaped like, you know,
00:02:58.240 --> 00:03:01.030
it's it's every shape put together in
00:03:01.040 --> 00:03:03.229
one. But,
00:03:03.239 --> 00:03:05.470
picking the colors, picking the design,
00:03:05.480 --> 00:03:07.910
keeping kind of a clean
00:03:07.920 --> 00:03:11.229
minimalist approach to to the space and
00:03:11.239 --> 00:03:13.430
making it feel like even though it's one
00:03:13.440 --> 00:03:15.190
room, kind of making it feel like
00:03:15.200 --> 00:03:17.470
there's different sections to the
00:03:17.480 --> 00:03:19.190
There's a bunch of little rooms in one
00:03:19.200 --> 00:03:20.110
big room, which
00:03:20.120 --> 00:03:21.630
>> How many will it seat?
00:03:21.640 --> 00:03:23.910
>> Uh there's 27 seats.
00:03:23.920 --> 00:03:27.150
>> Okay. Okay. Ooh, why is Nick doing that?
00:03:27.160 --> 00:03:28.710
>> I'm just thinking of the the Union
00:03:28.720 --> 00:03:30.350
Leader quote.
00:03:30.360 --> 00:03:30.830
The
00:03:30.840 --> 00:03:31.310
>> Uh
00:03:31.320 --> 00:03:33.190
>> There's only 26 seats in here, and I
00:03:33.200 --> 00:03:35.630
guarantee there's more than 26 women in
00:03:35.640 --> 00:03:37.270
this city of Manchester.
00:03:37.280 --> 00:03:39.030
>> I mis- I miscounted the seats.
00:03:39.040 --> 00:03:41.030
>> That was the
00:03:41.040 --> 00:03:43.390
That was the opening quote from Dan on
00:03:43.400 --> 00:03:45.110
the Sunday paper for the Union Leader.
00:03:45.120 --> 00:03:46.030
>> Oh my gosh.
00:03:46.040 --> 00:03:47.110
>> Yes, sir.
00:03:47.120 --> 00:03:49.750
Yes, sir. I I stand by that. I think I'm
00:03:49.760 --> 00:03:50.390
correct.
00:03:50.400 --> 00:03:51.229
>> At least we don't change our
00:03:51.239 --> 00:03:53.070
personalities when we do interviews.
00:03:53.080 --> 00:03:56.310
>> I think there's two hospitals. Um,
00:03:56.320 --> 00:03:58.550
so I think yeah.
00:03:58.560 --> 00:04:00.630
>> There's three.
00:04:00.640 --> 00:04:02.070
There's three. Dartmouth.
00:04:02.080 --> 00:04:03.390
>> Oh my gosh you two.
00:04:03.400 --> 00:04:05.230
>> Dartmouth, Elliot, CMC.
00:04:05.240 --> 00:04:07.470
>> Well, I only went to one so.
00:04:07.480 --> 00:04:08.150
Um
00:04:08.160 --> 00:04:10.110
>> That's okay. You know, for somebody
00:04:10.120 --> 00:04:11.550
listening without Okay, it's
00:04:11.560 --> 00:04:13.550
alcohol-free. Let's talk a little bit
00:04:13.560 --> 00:04:14.590
more about that. I mean, how did you
00:04:14.600 --> 00:04:16.750
come up with the concept? How did you
00:04:16.760 --> 00:04:17.750
like
00:04:17.760 --> 00:04:18.630
walk me through it?
00:04:18.640 --> 00:04:20.910
>> Well, the concept of an alcohol-free
00:04:20.920 --> 00:04:22.790
establishment
00:04:22.800 --> 00:04:25.550
has it's people you know, the bigger
00:04:25.560 --> 00:04:27.390
cities they've been doing it.
00:04:27.400 --> 00:04:29.070
It's been around.
00:04:29.080 --> 00:04:31.470
Um, I know that if someone who will
00:04:31.480 --> 00:04:34.510
eventually hear or watch this will yell
00:04:34.520 --> 00:04:35.950
at us
00:04:35.960 --> 00:04:38.710
uh for not making making this
00:04:38.720 --> 00:04:40.630
uh apparent even though it's our fault,
00:04:40.640 --> 00:04:44.750
but there was apparently a sober bar in
00:04:44.760 --> 00:04:48.550
Manchester in the '80s called Rebos.
00:04:48.560 --> 00:04:51.230
Rebos, which is just sober backwards.
00:04:51.240 --> 00:04:54.310
Um, I was like probably
00:04:54.320 --> 00:04:57.510
10 so I didn't go. But I was sober then
00:04:57.520 --> 00:04:58.018
too.
00:04:58.028 --> 00:04:58.950
>> [laughter]
00:04:58.960 --> 00:05:00.030
>> Um
00:05:00.040 --> 00:05:02.190
but you know, it
00:05:02.200 --> 00:05:04.790
alcohol-free establishments
00:05:04.800 --> 00:05:06.550
um there still aren't many. [snorts]
00:05:06.560 --> 00:05:07.190
>> No.
00:05:07.200 --> 00:05:11.550
>> at all. But just seeing just
00:05:11.560 --> 00:05:14.710
seeing our people asking for mocktails
00:05:14.720 --> 00:05:16.310
more and more and more,
00:05:16.320 --> 00:05:19.990
it becoming a higher point of sale and
00:05:20.000 --> 00:05:21.670
in the restaurants
00:05:21.680 --> 00:05:25.470
and just in general across the board uh
00:05:25.480 --> 00:05:28.590
there's cool new products and there's a
00:05:28.600 --> 00:05:30.430
reason for that because people want it.
00:05:30.440 --> 00:05:31.350
>> Right.
00:05:31.360 --> 00:05:32.750
>> since we
00:05:32.760 --> 00:05:35.510
this is what we do, we wanted to give
00:05:35.520 --> 00:05:37.670
give them a place
00:05:37.680 --> 00:05:39.710
this whole other
00:05:39.720 --> 00:05:41.830
group of people that maybe they'll go
00:05:41.840 --> 00:05:43.670
out as much or they don't want to go to
00:05:43.680 --> 00:05:46.870
a place that has alcohol or or they're
00:05:46.880 --> 00:05:48.870
they only go out once or twice a month,
00:05:48.880 --> 00:05:50.110
they still
00:05:50.120 --> 00:05:51.710
indulge if they want to, but they're
00:05:51.720 --> 00:05:54.110
looking for an alternative to that. It
00:05:54.120 --> 00:05:55.310
kind of
00:05:55.320 --> 00:05:58.270
was born out of that a few years back.
00:05:58.280 --> 00:06:00.110
And then being like, is this something?
00:06:00.120 --> 00:06:02.590
Is this actually tangible? Is this a
00:06:02.600 --> 00:06:05.110
real thing? Kept doing the research,
00:06:05.120 --> 00:06:06.990
kept watching the numbers, kept
00:06:07.000 --> 00:06:08.470
listening to customers.
00:06:08.480 --> 00:06:10.590
>> Well, even the numbers for when you look
00:06:10.600 --> 00:06:12.390
at New Hampshire State Liquor Store.
00:06:12.400 --> 00:06:13.790
>> Yeah, that's crazy.
00:06:13.800 --> 00:06:15.150
>> That that that's huge.
00:06:15.160 --> 00:06:16.190
>> 47 s-
00:06:16.200 --> 00:06:19.430
>> I mean, 41,000 to 607.
00:06:19.440 --> 00:06:19.830
>> Yeah.
00:06:19.840 --> 00:06:21.510
>> That's like that's insane.
00:06:21.520 --> 00:06:21.990
>> Yep.
00:06:22.000 --> 00:06:24.830
>> But now, I'm sure you've had or you're
00:06:24.840 --> 00:06:26.350
going to have people that are going to
00:06:26.360 --> 00:06:28.550
tell you you're insane for doing this.
00:06:28.560 --> 00:06:30.350
>> My immediate response to that is it's
00:06:30.360 --> 00:06:32.630
not your money, don't care.
00:06:32.640 --> 00:06:35.630
That's we've had that since we started
00:06:35.640 --> 00:06:37.310
and
00:06:37.320 --> 00:06:39.030
I mean, we're thankful for the amount of
00:06:39.040 --> 00:06:40.710
support that we've gotten.
00:06:40.720 --> 00:06:42.790
We put videos up, we've had hundreds of
00:06:42.800 --> 00:06:45.430
thousands of views, we've had
00:06:45.440 --> 00:06:46.990
tens of thousands of comments on all
00:06:47.000 --> 00:06:47.950
those
00:06:47.960 --> 00:06:51.070
and it's like 90% positive.
00:06:51.080 --> 00:06:52.390
>> What are you saying to the people that
00:06:52.400 --> 00:06:53.870
tell you, and I'm sure that they've said
00:06:53.880 --> 00:06:55.870
this to you, it's not going to last and
00:06:55.880 --> 00:06:57.390
you're going to eventually have to start
00:06:57.400 --> 00:06:58.510
selling alcohol?
00:06:58.520 --> 00:07:00.110
>> If I can I can I
00:07:00.120 --> 00:07:01.710
>> You can go first, yeah, please, by all
00:07:01.720 --> 00:07:03.590
means. By all means.
00:07:03.600 --> 00:07:06.030
>> Virtually no one says it in person. They
00:07:06.040 --> 00:07:08.470
wait to do it on the internet.
00:07:08.480 --> 00:07:09.950
Uh and so
00:07:09.960 --> 00:07:11.630
um
00:07:11.640 --> 00:07:13.630
I respond
00:07:13.640 --> 00:07:15.230
very
00:07:15.240 --> 00:07:16.790
uh
00:07:16.800 --> 00:07:19.310
not very often, but if someone's being
00:07:19.320 --> 00:07:22.070
like if someone is genuinely like, what
00:07:22.080 --> 00:07:24.710
the hell or I don't get this or I can't
00:07:24.720 --> 00:07:27.470
fathom why this would happen or they
00:07:27.480 --> 00:07:28.630
can't wrap their head around it and
00:07:28.640 --> 00:07:30.350
they're being like just genuinely
00:07:30.360 --> 00:07:32.430
curious, I will answer it
00:07:32.440 --> 00:07:36.270
with a very nice data-backed response
00:07:36.280 --> 00:07:37.390
and
00:07:37.400 --> 00:07:39.230
do you know, someone's like, oh, you
00:07:39.240 --> 00:07:40.150
know, a lot of people go, "Oh, it's a
00:07:40.160 --> 00:07:41.430
juice bar."
00:07:41.440 --> 00:07:43.870
So, we don't respond to them. But, you
00:07:43.880 --> 00:07:45.750
know, if someone is genuinely curious
00:07:45.760 --> 00:07:47.830
and has no
00:07:47.840 --> 00:07:50.030
uh you know, it's just a I don't think
00:07:50.040 --> 00:07:52.710
it's a very tough concept to get around.
00:07:52.720 --> 00:07:55.190
You know, like Friendly's, the Red Arrow
00:07:55.200 --> 00:07:57.070
doesn't serve alcohol. You know, there's
00:07:57.080 --> 00:07:58.310
lots of places that don't do it.
00:07:58.320 --> 00:07:59.390
>> Uh if they do.
00:07:59.400 --> 00:08:01.950
>> I respond, "Which one?"
00:08:01.960 --> 00:08:03.470
>> All of them except for Manchester.
00:08:03.480 --> 00:08:06.190
>> Oh, see, I don't go past the block over
00:08:06.200 --> 00:08:06.750
here.
00:08:06.760 --> 00:08:07.670
>> This one's the charm.
00:08:07.680 --> 00:08:09.590
>> Well, of course.
00:08:09.600 --> 00:08:12.470
That the Red Arrow doesn't serve. But,
00:08:12.480 --> 00:08:14.590
you know, if people are genuinely
00:08:14.600 --> 00:08:16.590
would like to know, if people are being
00:08:16.600 --> 00:08:17.950
rude, it's like they're not going to
00:08:17.960 --> 00:08:19.590
come anyway, so
00:08:19.600 --> 00:08:21.470
uh that's my response. What do you
00:08:21.480 --> 00:08:23.230
think?
00:08:23.240 --> 00:08:25.670
>> I mean, the way I look at it is between
00:08:25.680 --> 00:08:28.630
the two of us combined, we have
00:08:28.640 --> 00:08:31.830
close to 40 years of experience, I would
00:08:31.840 --> 00:08:33.110
say.
00:08:33.120 --> 00:08:35.550
Right around that. Um
00:08:35.560 --> 00:08:37.230
I would also With that being said, I
00:08:37.240 --> 00:08:38.870
would say that we probably have a better
00:08:38.880 --> 00:08:41.830
idea of what we're doing than people on
00:08:41.840 --> 00:08:43.469
the internet that read
00:08:43.479 --> 00:08:45.230
that have one of an article.
00:08:45.240 --> 00:08:46.829
Ultimately, it's anyone that says it's
00:08:46.839 --> 00:08:49.670
not going to work, it's stupid, it's
00:08:49.680 --> 00:08:51.750
just orange juice, whatever jokes they
00:08:51.760 --> 00:08:53.030
make, don't come.
00:08:53.040 --> 00:08:54.470
>> So, let's talk about some of these
00:08:54.480 --> 00:08:56.950
mocktails. What can we expect?
00:08:56.960 --> 00:09:00.190
>> Would it Would it be uncouth of me to
00:09:00.200 --> 00:09:03.750
invite Angelica over?
00:09:03.760 --> 00:09:06.310
She's the bar manager, so she would be
00:09:06.320 --> 00:09:08.231
the
00:09:08.241 --> 00:09:09.910
>> [laughter]
00:09:09.920 --> 00:09:11.710
>> She She knows everything.
00:09:11.720 --> 00:09:13.510
>> That's fine.
00:09:13.520 --> 00:09:14.310
Um
00:09:14.320 --> 00:09:16.870
>> If not, we can You You want to throw in
00:09:16.880 --> 00:09:18.630
some ingredients?
00:09:18.640 --> 00:09:19.430
>> What?
00:09:19.440 --> 00:09:20.590
>> Basically, what we're doing is we're
00:09:20.600 --> 00:09:24.430
taking craft cocktails and we're We're
00:09:24.440 --> 00:09:27.110
just removing the alcohol from them.
00:09:27.120 --> 00:09:28.470
So,
00:09:28.480 --> 00:09:30.230
it's not just We're not just squeezing
00:09:30.240 --> 00:09:32.230
three different juices together. We're
00:09:32.240 --> 00:09:35.350
creating our own shrubs, tinctures.
00:09:35.360 --> 00:09:37.030
>> Kind of like what you do at Industry and
00:09:37.040 --> 00:09:39.270
and Stash Box. I mean, that that's sort
00:09:39.280 --> 00:09:40.310
of
00:09:40.320 --> 00:09:42.270
>> But but even
00:09:42.280 --> 00:09:46.350
slightly on a grander scale because
00:09:46.360 --> 00:09:50.630
because we want to offer a lot more
00:09:50.640 --> 00:09:53.150
of a flavor profile and since there is
00:09:53.160 --> 00:09:56.070
no alcohol, you know, we're we're coming
00:09:56.080 --> 00:09:57.350
up with
00:09:57.360 --> 00:09:59.430
you know, some combinations that you
00:09:59.440 --> 00:10:02.270
that just you're just not going to see
00:10:02.280 --> 00:10:04.670
standard establishment that does serve
00:10:04.680 --> 00:10:05.150
alcohol.
00:10:05.160 --> 00:10:05.790
>> Okay.
00:10:05.800 --> 00:10:07.910
>> It's you know, and it and it pairs well
00:10:07.920 --> 00:10:10.190
with our food
00:10:10.200 --> 00:10:11.190
and on top [clears throat] of all of
00:10:11.200 --> 00:10:13.390
that, it's the service above everything.
00:10:13.400 --> 00:10:14.510
So,
00:10:14.520 --> 00:10:17.430
it being the service industry after all.
00:10:17.440 --> 00:10:20.190
So, so it's it's the combo of all of
00:10:20.200 --> 00:10:23.470
those things together.
00:10:23.480 --> 00:10:26.670
>> A good example of this is
00:10:26.680 --> 00:10:29.190
for a basic cocktail menu, so maybe like
00:10:29.200 --> 00:10:30.670
the the cocktail menu that's at
00:10:30.680 --> 00:10:31.790
Industry,
00:10:31.800 --> 00:10:33.830
the ingredients that go into that, there
00:10:33.840 --> 00:10:35.670
might be one or two ingredients in each
00:10:35.680 --> 00:10:37.990
cocktail that you might not know.
00:10:38.000 --> 00:10:39.870
You might not just know the name. You
00:10:39.880 --> 00:10:41.550
might not even know how to say it. And
00:10:41.560 --> 00:10:42.990
they explain it.
00:10:43.000 --> 00:10:44.670
We have 11
00:10:44.680 --> 00:10:45.950
I don't want to say mocktail. We're
00:10:45.960 --> 00:10:48.190
trying to lose that term, but we have 11
00:10:48.200 --> 00:10:50.350
mocktails that are on our menu. Our
00:10:50.360 --> 00:10:53.110
training guide for those mocktails is 99
00:10:53.120 --> 00:10:54.750
pages.
00:10:54.760 --> 00:10:57.350
It is very intensive. Every single
00:10:57.360 --> 00:11:01.070
ingredient it's a breakdown as to why we
00:11:01.080 --> 00:11:03.390
use it the way that we use it, what the
00:11:03.400 --> 00:11:05.350
flavor profiles are.
00:11:05.360 --> 00:11:09.310
Each drink that we create has comparison
00:11:09.320 --> 00:11:11.550
notes to people that might be trying us
00:11:11.560 --> 00:11:13.350
for the first time and say, I like a gin
00:11:13.360 --> 00:11:16.870
and tonic or I like French 75s. I I
00:11:16.880 --> 00:11:18.710
really love Manhattans.
00:11:18.720 --> 00:11:20.870
We have comparable notes to all of
00:11:20.880 --> 00:11:23.550
those. We're not trying to replace
00:11:23.560 --> 00:11:25.630
booze. We're not trying to make you
00:11:25.640 --> 00:11:27.670
think that you're drinking booze. But we
00:11:27.680 --> 00:11:30.870
are creating tasty drinks
00:11:30.880 --> 00:11:34.830
that can also satisfy your cravings. So,
00:11:34.840 --> 00:11:36.870
each drink has three food pairings with
00:11:36.880 --> 00:11:39.990
it that we would recommend. So,
00:11:40.000 --> 00:11:42.430
not serving alcohol just off the bat, we
00:11:42.440 --> 00:11:43.990
definitely start.
00:11:44.000 --> 00:11:45.550
It's a little more challenging for us.
00:11:45.560 --> 00:11:45.990
>> Mhm.
00:11:46.000 --> 00:11:48.390
>> Um we have our clientele, we have our
00:11:48.400 --> 00:11:49.870
market, we've seen the support. We're
00:11:49.880 --> 00:11:51.790
not worried about it on that end.
00:11:51.800 --> 00:11:53.750
But, we also want to be able to explain
00:11:53.760 --> 00:11:55.750
everything to the fullest of
00:11:55.760 --> 00:11:57.790
if we put lion's mane in a drink, what
00:11:57.800 --> 00:11:59.710
are the effects of lion's mane? It's a
00:11:59.720 --> 00:12:01.870
neurocognitive ability type thing. So,
00:12:01.880 --> 00:12:02.910
you wake up in the morning, you have a
00:12:02.920 --> 00:12:04.230
little more clarity after you drink
00:12:04.240 --> 00:12:06.950
these. Maybe something has a digestive
00:12:06.960 --> 00:12:09.030
element to it, so you drink it after you
00:12:09.040 --> 00:12:10.630
eat. Then it makes you feel better and
00:12:10.640 --> 00:12:12.150
less bloated in the
00:12:12.160 --> 00:12:14.590
So, we're not diving into like the
00:12:14.600 --> 00:12:16.590
health benefits and everything, but the
00:12:16.600 --> 00:12:19.750
knowledge that our staff has on every
00:12:19.760 --> 00:12:22.750
single ingredient is par none.
00:12:22.760 --> 00:12:24.390
>> That is very impressive.
00:12:24.400 --> 00:12:25.670
>> rest of this industry, yeah.
00:12:25.680 --> 00:12:27.630
>> So, so like like you said earlier, I
00:12:27.640 --> 00:12:30.350
mean, it's not just juices. You're You
00:12:30.360 --> 00:12:32.030
guys have a lot of thought into this.
00:12:32.040 --> 00:12:34.230
Now, you said something, you're trying
00:12:34.240 --> 00:12:35.910
to get away from the word mocktail.
00:12:35.920 --> 00:12:36.590
>> Yeah.
00:12:36.600 --> 00:12:37.990
>> What are you
00:12:38.000 --> 00:12:39.510
>> Mocktail
00:12:39.520 --> 00:12:42.470
was a term that was created
00:12:42.480 --> 00:12:43.829
to basically it's a it's a mock
00:12:43.839 --> 00:12:45.430
cocktail, which it makes sense, it's
00:12:45.440 --> 00:12:47.270
very easy to say.
00:12:47.280 --> 00:12:49.590
I think it's a little derogatory to the
00:12:49.600 --> 00:12:53.910
drinks that we create. That sounds super
00:12:53.920 --> 00:12:54.550
>> That sounds so
00:12:54.560 --> 00:12:55.790
>> I know, no, it sounds so
00:12:55.800 --> 00:12:56.990
>> You are so soft.
00:12:57.000 --> 00:12:59.150
>> No, it sounds very pretend It sounds
00:12:59.160 --> 00:13:02.270
pretentious when I say it that way, but
00:13:02.280 --> 00:13:03.550
>> No, I get it though.
00:13:03.560 --> 00:13:05.710
>> the effort that we're putting in, it's
00:13:05.720 --> 00:13:06.950
not
00:13:06.960 --> 00:13:09.430
That's the if you read the headline to
00:13:09.440 --> 00:13:10.910
any article that's been put out about
00:13:10.920 --> 00:13:12.150
this place
00:13:12.160 --> 00:13:14.750
and it says it's non-alcoholic mocktail
00:13:14.760 --> 00:13:17.190
bar opens in Manchester.
00:13:17.200 --> 00:13:19.070
The immediate response is either people
00:13:19.080 --> 00:13:20.550
are like, this is awesome, can't wait to
00:13:20.560 --> 00:13:23.110
try it. The term mocktail has kind of
00:13:23.120 --> 00:13:25.750
led to the negativity that we're getting
00:13:25.760 --> 00:13:26.710
at this point.
00:13:26.720 --> 00:13:28.950
>> It's easy to It's easy to say it sounds
00:13:28.960 --> 00:13:31.590
like cocktail but with an M, but they're
00:13:31.600 --> 00:13:34.110
really I mean, to sound even more
00:13:34.120 --> 00:13:36.270
pretentious if I could.
00:13:36.280 --> 00:13:39.430
I mean, they're craft curated
00:13:39.440 --> 00:13:41.350
non-alcoholic
00:13:41.360 --> 00:13:43.230
beverages. They're
00:13:43.240 --> 00:13:44.390
It's They're even They're more
00:13:44.400 --> 00:13:46.270
complicated than the food recipes. No
00:13:46.280 --> 00:13:47.870
offense to Josh or chef.
00:13:47.880 --> 00:13:49.670
>> My bad, dog. We're going to talk about
00:13:49.680 --> 00:13:50.190
that next.
00:13:50.200 --> 00:13:51.990
>> They require You know what I mean? We're
00:13:52.000 --> 00:13:54.750
literally like soaking, straining
00:13:54.760 --> 00:13:56.030
macadamia
00:13:56.040 --> 00:13:58.630
turning that into a syrup, then put
00:13:58.640 --> 00:14:00.470
running it through cheesecloth, making
00:14:00.480 --> 00:14:03.070
sure that it is smooth, making sure
00:14:03.080 --> 00:14:05.390
there are no impurities, and that's just
00:14:05.400 --> 00:14:08.510
for one ingredient. And, you know,
00:14:08.520 --> 00:14:09.510
that's
00:14:09.520 --> 00:14:11.670
it's taking those things. It's creating
00:14:11.680 --> 00:14:12.910
It's creating flavors.
00:14:12.920 --> 00:14:15.270
>> of like you're foraging all your your
00:14:15.280 --> 00:14:16.710
ingredients. Yeah.
00:14:16.720 --> 00:14:20.030
>> The our downfall is we can't hide the
00:14:20.040 --> 00:14:21.950
taste of the drink with booze.
00:14:21.960 --> 00:14:22.750
If you go somewhere and you're like,
00:14:22.760 --> 00:14:24.990
"Oh, this This tastes like [ __ ] but
00:14:25.000 --> 00:14:27.390
there's 9 oz of tequila in it, you're
00:14:27.400 --> 00:14:28.529
probably not going to complain."
00:14:28.539 --> 00:14:29.110
>> [laughter]
00:14:29.120 --> 00:14:30.510
>> We put it in a drink alcoholic for
00:14:30.520 --> 00:14:32.270
>> Yeah, that's what you want. If we put
00:14:32.280 --> 00:14:34.190
one of our beverages out and it doesn't
00:14:34.200 --> 00:14:36.230
taste good, we're starting from scratch
00:14:36.240 --> 00:14:37.350
again.
00:14:37.360 --> 00:14:39.950
So, it's there's a lot more pressure
00:14:39.960 --> 00:14:41.590
into
00:14:41.600 --> 00:14:43.630
what we create in here and the way that
00:14:43.640 --> 00:14:45.350
we present it as well.
00:14:45.360 --> 00:14:48.950
Cuz that's That's the thing. I can make
00:14:48.960 --> 00:14:50.829
10 drinks, one of them can taste like
00:14:50.839 --> 00:14:52.550
[ __ ] You're like, "Ah, you know what,
00:14:52.560 --> 00:14:54.470
man? It's okay." Like my my Jack and
00:14:54.480 --> 00:14:55.870
Coke
00:14:55.880 --> 00:14:57.750
I think the syrup's flat on the Coke. If
00:14:57.760 --> 00:14:59.190
we put out 10 drinks and one of them
00:14:59.200 --> 00:15:01.390
tastes like [ __ ] we're remaking.
00:15:01.400 --> 00:15:02.270
>> It's a never any bad
00:15:02.280 --> 00:15:03.510
>> Well, I I mean, I think it's impressive
00:15:03.520 --> 00:15:05.710
where you said your book is 99 pages
00:15:05.720 --> 00:15:07.670
long. So, you're you're not just like
00:15:07.680 --> 00:15:09.150
like you said, it's not This isn't
00:15:09.160 --> 00:15:10.470
juices. This is a lot of elements to
00:15:10.480 --> 00:15:12.550
come into There's a lot of elements.
00:15:12.560 --> 00:15:15.670
>> Booze Booze can stay on the shelf or in
00:15:15.680 --> 00:15:18.190
your basement for 30 years, and it'll be
00:15:18.200 --> 00:15:19.510
fine. You can open it up and drink it
00:15:19.520 --> 00:15:20.030
again.
00:15:20.040 --> 00:15:21.270
>> Our product cannot.
00:15:21.280 --> 00:15:22.750
>> We make You know, we're making a
00:15:22.760 --> 00:15:26.110
pistachio syrup that's made out of food.
00:15:26.120 --> 00:15:28.790
It has a shelf life. You know, it it can
00:15:28.800 --> 00:15:31.270
only we need to figure out, okay, how
00:15:31.280 --> 00:15:32.590
many of these drinks are we going to
00:15:32.600 --> 00:15:34.110
sell this week? Well, you don't want to
00:15:34.120 --> 00:15:35.990
make too little because it's a long
00:15:36.000 --> 00:15:37.510
process to make it.
00:15:37.520 --> 00:15:37.910
>> Right.
00:15:37.920 --> 00:15:39.190
>> You don't want to make too much because
00:15:39.200 --> 00:15:40.350
if you don't use it, you have to throw
00:15:40.360 --> 00:15:43.030
it out, which also sucks. So, it's it's
00:15:43.040 --> 00:15:44.950
not just
00:15:44.960 --> 00:15:46.790
pouring juice.
00:15:46.800 --> 00:15:47.910
>> So, not just a juice.
00:15:47.920 --> 00:15:48.790
>> Right. Right.
00:15:48.800 --> 00:15:50.950
>> It's really a liquid kitchen. That's
00:15:50.960 --> 00:15:51.630
what we're doing.
00:15:51.640 --> 00:15:51.910
>> Yeah.
00:15:51.920 --> 00:15:53.590
>> Yeah. We have to account for food
00:15:53.600 --> 00:15:54.630
spoilage and all that.
00:15:54.640 --> 00:15:55.870
>> I really am.
00:15:55.880 --> 00:15:57.630
>> Yeah, for spoilage we have to account.
00:15:57.640 --> 00:15:59.990
There's so much of that. If I buy a case
00:16:00.000 --> 00:16:02.350
of Titos, every single bottle of that is
00:16:02.360 --> 00:16:03.270
fine.
00:16:03.280 --> 00:16:05.790
If we buy a case of
00:16:05.800 --> 00:16:07.590
let's say
00:16:07.600 --> 00:16:08.550
>> Pathfinder.
00:16:08.560 --> 00:16:11.390
>> Yeah. So, we buy a case of Pathfinder,
00:16:11.400 --> 00:16:12.670
every bottle of that is fine, but when
00:16:12.680 --> 00:16:14.630
it gets mixed with something,
00:16:14.640 --> 00:16:15.910
you're going to be able to tell if this
00:16:15.920 --> 00:16:17.430
is something is off.
00:16:17.440 --> 00:16:19.310
Whereas alcohol hides taste, hides
00:16:19.320 --> 00:16:22.270
smell, hides everything. So, we have to
00:16:22.280 --> 00:16:23.390
be
00:16:23.400 --> 00:16:25.430
we're going to be on our game. That's
00:16:25.440 --> 00:16:28.470
That's as as much as we can put it.
00:16:28.480 --> 00:16:30.550
People can kind of think, going back to
00:16:30.560 --> 00:16:33.470
the the juices and oh, it's it's just a
00:16:33.480 --> 00:16:35.790
boring place. It's
00:16:35.800 --> 00:16:36.990
it's not boring.
00:16:37.000 --> 00:16:38.590
>> Those people are few and far between.
00:16:38.600 --> 00:16:39.350
>> Right. Right.
00:16:39.360 --> 00:16:40.030
>> And it's
00:16:40.040 --> 00:16:43.150
>> It's so intricate and so much attention
00:16:43.160 --> 00:16:44.110
to detail.
00:16:44.120 --> 00:16:46.390
>> When you walk in from
00:16:46.400 --> 00:16:48.150
the attention to detail on the design,
00:16:48.160 --> 00:16:50.750
which color scheme, all that was Dan. I
00:16:50.760 --> 00:16:52.750
had to hold him back a little bit cuz
00:16:52.760 --> 00:16:54.070
I'm a minimalist and Dan is very
00:16:54.080 --> 00:16:55.990
eccentric. That's Stache and Industry,
00:16:56.000 --> 00:16:57.110
beautiful places.
00:16:57.120 --> 00:16:58.470
>> It's a nice blend of the both of you
00:16:58.480 --> 00:16:58.990
guys.
00:16:59.000 --> 00:17:01.590
>> Yeah, it's a good and that's it worked
00:17:01.600 --> 00:17:02.829
for the room. Where if you go to
00:17:02.839 --> 00:17:04.470
Mokkapot,
00:17:04.480 --> 00:17:06.790
Mokkapot is one big open space and we
00:17:06.800 --> 00:17:08.429
could have as much fun as we wanted
00:17:08.439 --> 00:17:10.309
there. There's different elements from
00:17:10.319 --> 00:17:11.910
both of us that are in there.
00:17:11.920 --> 00:17:13.790
This was so small that we really had to
00:17:13.800 --> 00:17:14.590
come
00:17:14.600 --> 00:17:15.829
and
00:17:15.839 --> 00:17:18.110
put together, but from the attention to
00:17:18.120 --> 00:17:19.750
detail on space
00:17:19.760 --> 00:17:23.030
to the drink to the food to the service
00:17:23.040 --> 00:17:25.670
to every single part of it we have to be
00:17:25.680 --> 00:17:27.069
on our best game.
00:17:27.079 --> 00:17:28.790
And that's why if
00:17:28.800 --> 00:17:29.990
people want to tell us it's not going to
00:17:30.000 --> 00:17:32.550
last whatever it's you don't understand
00:17:32.560 --> 00:17:34.950
how much effort we put into it
00:17:34.960 --> 00:17:37.550
to ensure that it does last.
00:17:37.560 --> 00:17:39.310
>> So let's talk about the food.
00:17:39.320 --> 00:17:41.270
>> Yeah. Oh, I'd love to.
00:17:41.280 --> 00:17:44.230
>> So we're going to have all these amazing
00:17:44.240 --> 00:17:44.990
drinks.
00:17:45.000 --> 00:17:45.510
>> Mhm.
00:17:45.520 --> 00:17:47.590
>> What is the food going to be like?
00:17:47.600 --> 00:17:50.990
>> So to kind of go with the flow and the
00:17:51.000 --> 00:17:54.430
the theme of what we're what we're doing
00:17:54.440 --> 00:17:55.990
here is
00:17:56.000 --> 00:17:57.150
it's a
00:17:57.160 --> 00:18:00.030
comparatively to Cheesecake Factory it's
00:18:00.040 --> 00:18:02.717
a it's a smaller menu. Uh
00:18:02.727 --> 00:18:03.590
>> [laughter]
00:18:03.600 --> 00:18:04.110
>> again
00:18:04.120 --> 00:18:05.470
>> Jeez, yeah. That that one's like the
00:18:05.480 --> 00:18:07.310
biggest menu in the whole world.
00:18:07.320 --> 00:18:08.910
>> We'll probably have we'll probably have
00:18:08.920 --> 00:18:11.270
like 12 to 14 dishes
00:18:11.280 --> 00:18:11.790
>> Okay.
00:18:11.800 --> 00:18:13.670
>> Um at any given time.
00:18:13.680 --> 00:18:15.150
>> Tapas style?
00:18:15.160 --> 00:18:15.390
>> Uh
00:18:15.400 --> 00:18:17.350
>> Entre shareable? Okay.
00:18:17.360 --> 00:18:19.950
>> Shareable shareable or you know
00:18:19.960 --> 00:18:21.750
I always tell people at any of the
00:18:21.760 --> 00:18:23.230
restaurants just keep eating until
00:18:23.240 --> 00:18:24.470
you're full.
00:18:24.480 --> 00:18:26.590
Oh, these things look good to me. Order
00:18:26.600 --> 00:18:27.110
them.
00:18:27.120 --> 00:18:30.350
>> So again kind of like industry stash?
00:18:30.360 --> 00:18:32.390
>> You know because it's a social
00:18:32.400 --> 00:18:34.070
atmosphere. It's certainly not going to
00:18:34.080 --> 00:18:36.350
be a T-bone steak broccoli mashed
00:18:36.360 --> 00:18:37.790
potatoes.
00:18:37.800 --> 00:18:39.750
It's going to be
00:18:39.760 --> 00:18:41.150
dishes that are put together with
00:18:41.160 --> 00:18:42.550
thought to
00:18:42.560 --> 00:18:44.670
kind of mirror what you're getting in in
00:18:44.680 --> 00:18:46.430
drink form. You know, all the
00:18:46.440 --> 00:18:48.790
ingredients are there for a reason. And
00:18:48.800 --> 00:18:51.070
it's meant to be lively. You know, it's
00:18:51.080 --> 00:18:53.670
it's meant it's meant to
00:18:53.680 --> 00:18:57.030
start conversation. Our chef Josh is
00:18:57.040 --> 00:18:58.150
Hawaiian.
00:18:58.160 --> 00:19:01.190
So he's going to be bringing a couple of
00:19:01.200 --> 00:19:02.710
like traditional
00:19:02.720 --> 00:19:05.230
>> Oh, cool. That's different.
00:19:05.240 --> 00:19:06.070
>> Hawaiian style dishes
00:19:06.080 --> 00:19:06.790
>> Yeah.
00:19:06.800 --> 00:19:10.230
>> a little bit of fusion dishes as well.
00:19:10.240 --> 00:19:11.630
You know, where he's taking a little bit
00:19:11.640 --> 00:19:13.990
elements from the island and adding it
00:19:14.000 --> 00:19:16.670
into some kind of what more people will
00:19:16.680 --> 00:19:18.350
recognize around here. And then we've
00:19:18.360 --> 00:19:21.350
got some dishes that we came up with
00:19:21.360 --> 00:19:22.750
that we just
00:19:22.760 --> 00:19:24.270
that you know, the ones you make like in
00:19:24.280 --> 00:19:26.030
your kitchen at 2:00 a.m. And you're
00:19:26.040 --> 00:19:28.870
like, this ah, this sounds pretty good.
00:19:28.880 --> 00:19:29.910
But then you make it work and it
00:19:29.920 --> 00:19:30.790
actually is good.
00:19:30.800 --> 00:19:33.750
>> Yeah. Can Can you give me any hints of
00:19:33.760 --> 00:19:34.990
anything or
00:19:35.000 --> 00:19:36.550
>> I mean the biggest one that we're going
00:19:36.560 --> 00:19:39.910
to probably have is going to be the spam
00:19:39.920 --> 00:19:42.630
pineapple arancini.
00:19:42.640 --> 00:19:43.790
>> Spam
00:19:43.800 --> 00:19:45.470
pineapple arancini.
00:19:45.480 --> 00:19:48.750
>> With a roasted pineapple sweet and sour
00:19:48.760 --> 00:19:49.790
sauce.
00:19:49.800 --> 00:19:50.670
>> Holy crap.
00:19:50.680 --> 00:19:51.470
>> And that
00:19:51.480 --> 00:19:52.670
>> That sounds amazing.
00:19:52.680 --> 00:19:53.710
>> Pretty good.
00:19:53.720 --> 00:19:56.870
>> Most of our dishes are vegan.
00:19:56.880 --> 00:19:58.950
One is an oyster mushroom focused dish.
00:19:58.960 --> 00:20:01.430
One is a chimichurri focused dish.
00:20:01.440 --> 00:20:03.350
The tuna poke bombs. So, we take
00:20:03.360 --> 00:20:05.470
everything in a tuna poke ball. We wrap
00:20:05.480 --> 00:20:07.630
it into a thin tofu wrapper and then
00:20:07.640 --> 00:20:08.710
little
00:20:08.720 --> 00:20:10.470
little slice of tuna right on the top.
00:20:10.480 --> 00:20:11.590
>> Wow.
00:20:11.600 --> 00:20:12.110
>> The whole point
00:20:12.120 --> 00:20:13.310
>> But not the poke that you get at the
00:20:13.320 --> 00:20:13.750
mall.
00:20:13.760 --> 00:20:14.430
>> Definitely not.
00:20:14.440 --> 00:20:16.670
>> Like the the traditional
00:20:16.680 --> 00:20:17.190
>> Okay.
00:20:17.200 --> 00:20:17.750
>> traditional
00:20:17.760 --> 00:20:18.310
>> Ah, so
00:20:18.320 --> 00:20:20.950
>> The whole point of the menu is
00:20:20.960 --> 00:20:22.790
every single thing you order,
00:20:22.800 --> 00:20:24.110
if there's four people at your table,
00:20:24.120 --> 00:20:26.150
you need four plates.
00:20:26.160 --> 00:20:27.230
If there's two people, you need two
00:20:27.240 --> 00:20:28.950
plates cuz every single item that comes
00:20:28.960 --> 00:20:30.430
out, you're going to want to hey Travis,
00:20:30.440 --> 00:20:31.990
hey Travis.
00:20:32.000 --> 00:20:33.430
So, that's
00:20:33.440 --> 00:20:35.430
the whole point of this environment too
00:20:35.440 --> 00:20:37.390
and the menu and the drinks is to start
00:20:37.400 --> 00:20:38.830
conversation.
00:20:38.840 --> 00:20:40.790
And that our food menu is going to do
00:20:40.800 --> 00:20:43.750
that. And I think that's where
00:20:43.760 --> 00:20:45.110
from the articles that we've done in the
00:20:45.120 --> 00:20:46.750
past, I don't think anyone has touched
00:20:46.760 --> 00:20:47.990
on the food. So, you're actually the
00:20:48.000 --> 00:20:48.750
first person that
00:20:48.760 --> 00:20:50.150
>> Yeah, thank you for that. Everyone just
00:20:50.160 --> 00:20:53.190
wants to talk about if it's a if it's a
00:20:53.200 --> 00:20:56.030
sustainable business model. I think
00:20:56.040 --> 00:20:57.150
>> I think a lot of people don't think
00:20:57.160 --> 00:20:58.950
we're doing food.
00:20:58.960 --> 00:21:00.470
>> Yeah, a lot of people don't realize that
00:21:00.480 --> 00:21:01.510
we're
00:21:01.520 --> 00:21:02.430
a real restaurant.
00:21:02.440 --> 00:21:04.150
>> It's a restaurant. Everyone thinks we're
00:21:04.160 --> 00:21:06.030
a mocktail bar.
00:21:06.040 --> 00:21:07.430
But uh
00:21:07.440 --> 00:21:09.670
Well, at least you get the the pork
00:21:09.680 --> 00:21:11.390
belly poke bowls. Wait till I come.
00:21:11.400 --> 00:21:12.510
>> I can't wait.
00:21:12.520 --> 00:21:13.230
>> Yeah.
00:21:13.240 --> 00:21:14.470
So, it's a very
00:21:14.480 --> 00:21:16.310
>> oh my goodness. Spamming.
00:21:16.320 --> 00:21:16.670
>> Yeah.
00:21:16.680 --> 00:21:17.990
>> Pineapple.
00:21:18.000 --> 00:21:20.750
>> They're wicked good. And similar similar
00:21:20.760 --> 00:21:22.190
to
00:21:22.200 --> 00:21:23.950
all the beverages we create, it's about
00:21:23.960 --> 00:21:25.750
90% of it we have to make everything by
00:21:25.760 --> 00:21:26.790
hand.
00:21:26.800 --> 00:21:28.870
Same thing goes for the kitchen.
00:21:28.880 --> 00:21:29.670
>> I love that.
00:21:29.680 --> 00:21:31.510
>> buying anything pre-made, everything
00:21:31.520 --> 00:21:33.830
gets touched by Josh.
00:21:33.840 --> 00:21:34.990
He knows how to
00:21:35.000 --> 00:21:35.470
>> Spam.
00:21:35.480 --> 00:21:37.590
>> Is he from around here? Or
00:21:37.600 --> 00:21:39.710
So, from Hawaii, but has he been here
00:21:39.720 --> 00:21:40.870
for a while? Or
00:21:40.880 --> 00:21:42.470
>> He's been here since
00:21:42.480 --> 00:21:43.070
4 months.
00:21:43.080 --> 00:21:44.670
>> Oh, okay. So,
00:21:44.680 --> 00:21:47.070
>> So, he came to New England for this
00:21:47.080 --> 00:21:47.710
concept.
00:21:47.720 --> 00:21:48.790
>> Oh my goodness.
00:21:48.800 --> 00:21:50.150
>> to get him a really good
00:21:50.160 --> 00:21:50.910
winter jacket.
00:21:50.920 --> 00:21:52.230
>> Yeah, as a Christmas present, I think.
00:21:52.240 --> 00:21:52.750
>> Yes.
00:21:52.760 --> 00:21:53.750
>> Yeah, I don't think he's ready for the
00:21:53.760 --> 00:21:55.150
cold.
00:21:55.160 --> 00:21:55.630
But, uh
00:21:55.640 --> 00:21:57.910
>> Yeah, oh boy. That does that for sure.
00:21:57.920 --> 00:22:00.710
>> And that's I think I really I actually
00:22:00.720 --> 00:22:02.390
appreciate you touching on the food item
00:22:02.400 --> 00:22:04.190
because no one's asked.
00:22:04.200 --> 00:22:04.910
And we've done a couple
00:22:04.920 --> 00:22:05.910
>> That's kind of crazy.
00:22:05.920 --> 00:22:07.270
>> Yeah, we've done some pop-ups on the
00:22:07.280 --> 00:22:09.310
mock pot side, and the people that have
00:22:09.320 --> 00:22:10.430
come in have been our day one
00:22:10.440 --> 00:22:11.790
supporters.
00:22:11.800 --> 00:22:13.750
And they've tried They don't know it
00:22:13.760 --> 00:22:15.230
yet, but they've tried the entire menu
00:22:15.240 --> 00:22:17.270
just by all four pop-ups. We were three,
00:22:17.280 --> 00:22:18.870
three, and three. Three, three, three,
00:22:18.880 --> 00:22:21.710
three food items, three mocktails.
00:22:21.720 --> 00:22:23.750
So, they've tried everything. We've done
00:22:23.760 --> 00:22:24.910
our tweaks on it. We've taken the
00:22:24.920 --> 00:22:26.190
feedback.
00:22:26.200 --> 00:22:27.670
But, yeah, I think that's that's the
00:22:27.680 --> 00:22:29.670
missing piece to everything. They think
00:22:29.680 --> 00:22:33.350
that they think we're selling $14
00:22:33.360 --> 00:22:34.310
cups of juice.
00:22:34.320 --> 00:22:35.750
>> Right. Well, you're going to prove them
00:22:35.760 --> 00:22:37.710
wrong. I can't wait to see that.
00:22:37.720 --> 00:22:38.510
>> Of course.
00:22:38.520 --> 00:22:40.430
>> So, when people walk in, what is it that
00:22:40.440 --> 00:22:42.430
you want them to feel?
00:22:42.440 --> 00:22:43.030
>> Welcome.
00:22:43.040 --> 00:22:46.470
>> Yeah. As soon as you walk in the door,
00:22:46.480 --> 00:22:47.590
I just want you
00:22:47.600 --> 00:22:49.150
I mean, I want you to feel like you made
00:22:49.160 --> 00:22:51.470
the right decision. Like before you As
00:22:51.480 --> 00:22:52.870
soon as you walk in, you're going to get
00:22:52.880 --> 00:22:54.910
greeted. Hey, how you doing? You know,
00:22:54.920 --> 00:22:56.270
just like
00:22:56.280 --> 00:22:57.990
just like your friendly your friendly
00:22:58.000 --> 00:23:00.090
neighborhood non-alcoholic bar.
00:23:00.100 --> 00:23:00.390
>> [laughter]
00:23:00.400 --> 00:23:02.670
>> Come on down. You know, it's
00:23:02.680 --> 00:23:03.990
again it
00:23:04.000 --> 00:23:05.390
we've sat
00:23:05.400 --> 00:23:08.870
whenever I do design, whenever Nick's
00:23:08.880 --> 00:23:12.150
trying to get comfy, we've sat in every
00:23:12.160 --> 00:23:14.470
I've sat in every seat in here like
00:23:14.480 --> 00:23:16.150
>> hilarious.
00:23:16.160 --> 00:23:17.350
>> You know what I mean?
00:23:17.360 --> 00:23:19.670
Like this there's a two top right next
00:23:19.680 --> 00:23:23.430
to us that's out of out of view, but
00:23:23.440 --> 00:23:24.470
like
00:23:24.480 --> 00:23:26.870
we could have put a four top there and
00:23:26.880 --> 00:23:30.310
packed a few more seats in, but the feel
00:23:30.320 --> 00:23:33.710
of that corner was oh, this is like this
00:23:33.720 --> 00:23:35.750
should be a two top table. This is an
00:23:35.760 --> 00:23:37.270
intimate little table. This is going to
00:23:37.280 --> 00:23:40.230
be the desirable spot for someone who is
00:23:40.240 --> 00:23:43.350
maybe on a first date. And you know,
00:23:43.360 --> 00:23:45.310
they wanted a little bit more privacy.
00:23:45.320 --> 00:23:48.350
The banquettes here. This is This was
00:23:48.360 --> 00:23:50.830
built so you can have multiple different
00:23:50.840 --> 00:23:51.430
parties
00:23:51.440 --> 00:23:52.870
>> Separate or together.
00:23:52.880 --> 00:23:54.670
>> comes in, we can put them all together.
00:23:54.680 --> 00:23:57.430
Everyone can see everything and you can
00:23:57.440 --> 00:23:59.710
see everything from all angles including
00:23:59.720 --> 00:24:01.510
outside cuz it's all windows.
00:24:01.520 --> 00:24:02.510
>> Right.
00:24:02.520 --> 00:24:04.110
>> And you just We want to feel like you're
00:24:04.120 --> 00:24:06.710
in our like you've come right into our
00:24:06.720 --> 00:24:07.790
kitchen at our house.
00:24:07.800 --> 00:24:09.270
>> I love them over.
00:24:09.280 --> 00:24:10.830
>> Don't worry, we got everything already
00:24:10.840 --> 00:24:12.510
ready for you. You just sit down and
00:24:12.520 --> 00:24:13.670
have a nice time.
00:24:13.680 --> 00:24:15.630
>> Will there be some outside seating, too?
00:24:15.640 --> 00:24:16.390
>> Eventually.
00:24:16.400 --> 00:24:16.710
>> Yeah.
00:24:16.720 --> 00:24:17.710
>> Eventually there will.
00:24:17.720 --> 00:24:18.110
>> Yeah.
00:24:18.120 --> 00:24:19.310
>> We want to
00:24:19.320 --> 00:24:21.270
kind of get everyone comfortable with
00:24:21.280 --> 00:24:23.070
the lay of the land before we start kind
00:24:23.080 --> 00:24:24.510
of jumping and expanding out.
00:24:24.520 --> 00:24:25.310
>> Yeah.
00:24:25.320 --> 00:24:26.830
>> It's the one thing I want to feel every
00:24:26.840 --> 00:24:28.590
time I walk into a restaurant is
00:24:28.600 --> 00:24:29.790
welcomed.
00:24:29.800 --> 00:24:31.830
And not just someone saying, "Hi, how
00:24:31.840 --> 00:24:33.150
are you? How many people are dining
00:24:33.160 --> 00:24:34.110
today?"
00:24:34.120 --> 00:24:36.750
It's the genuine care of, "Hey, how are
00:24:36.760 --> 00:24:39.150
you? How are the kids? Are we dining
00:24:39.160 --> 00:24:41.030
solo tonight? Did we we get a sitter
00:24:41.040 --> 00:24:42.390
tonight?" Like
00:24:42.400 --> 00:24:44.790
that's the hospitality aspect
00:24:44.800 --> 00:24:45.510
>> It's big.
00:24:45.520 --> 00:24:47.110
>> of restaurants. I think it is so
00:24:47.120 --> 00:24:48.510
>> It's the only thing that's going to make
00:24:48.520 --> 00:24:50.470
this whole industry survive.
00:24:50.480 --> 00:24:51.390
>> It's true.
00:24:51.400 --> 00:24:53.270
>> If you don't care about the people who
00:24:53.280 --> 00:24:54.590
walk in the door and you just see a
00:24:54.600 --> 00:24:56.230
price tag
00:24:56.240 --> 00:24:59.590
and you see a dollar sign between
00:24:59.600 --> 00:25:01.190
anyone that comes in and how many people
00:25:01.200 --> 00:25:02.550
are there,
00:25:02.560 --> 00:25:04.830
you're never going to last.
00:25:04.840 --> 00:25:06.270
You're not going to and that's
00:25:06.280 --> 00:25:08.430
>> Building relationships, right? I mean
00:25:08.440 --> 00:25:08.870
>> think that's
00:25:08.880 --> 00:25:10.830
>> There's not a lot of other reasons to be
00:25:10.840 --> 00:25:12.402
in this business.
00:25:12.412 --> 00:25:13.470
>> [laughter]
00:25:13.480 --> 00:25:14.230
>> That's it.
00:25:14.240 --> 00:25:16.630
>> It's certainly you have to love it. And
00:25:16.640 --> 00:25:17.870
I think
00:25:17.880 --> 00:25:20.150
not just here, uh you know, this might
00:25:20.160 --> 00:25:21.110
be
00:25:21.120 --> 00:25:23.550
this might be the first time anyone is
00:25:23.560 --> 00:25:26.390
trying any one of our concepts.
00:25:26.400 --> 00:25:27.710
If so, you're missing out on the other
00:25:27.720 --> 00:25:28.870
ones, but
00:25:28.880 --> 00:25:29.190
>> Definitely.
00:25:29.200 --> 00:25:30.110
>> That's what we do at all our That's what
00:25:30.120 --> 00:25:30.750
we're going to talk about them.
00:25:30.760 --> 00:25:32.070
>> That's what we do at all our other
00:25:32.080 --> 00:25:33.990
spots, you know, it's the first and
00:25:34.000 --> 00:25:36.910
foremost, you walk in
00:25:36.920 --> 00:25:39.870
you you can tell in 10 seconds if you
00:25:39.880 --> 00:25:41.910
want to be in there or not, you know, if
00:25:41.920 --> 00:25:43.670
it's not for you, you know that right
00:25:43.680 --> 00:25:44.950
off the bat.
00:25:44.960 --> 00:25:48.190
If you're a weary road traveler and you
00:25:48.200 --> 00:25:50.870
just want to sit down and just chill
00:25:50.880 --> 00:25:52.990
out, we'll let you chill. If you're
00:25:53.000 --> 00:25:55.710
ready to talk and tell some stories, so
00:25:55.720 --> 00:25:58.590
are we and that's the same thing here. I
00:25:58.600 --> 00:26:00.350
think it's it's just that inviting
00:26:00.360 --> 00:26:01.990
aspect of it, you know, that's why
00:26:02.000 --> 00:26:04.870
people go out. Why would you buy a $14
00:26:04.880 --> 00:26:06.830
glass of juice when you could just make
00:26:06.840 --> 00:26:08.790
it at your house, you know?
00:26:08.800 --> 00:26:11.190
Uh that's that's the whole point.
00:26:11.200 --> 00:26:12.663
>> going to taste like [ __ ]
00:26:12.673 --> 00:26:12.870
>> [laughter]
00:26:12.880 --> 00:26:14.030
>> if we don't make it, but
00:26:14.040 --> 00:26:15.670
>> That's right. That's right.
00:26:15.680 --> 00:26:17.150
>> that's I think you nailed it, Dan.
00:26:17.160 --> 00:26:18.710
That's the
00:26:18.720 --> 00:26:21.030
the whole point of going out and going
00:26:21.040 --> 00:26:24.750
to a restaurant or going to a bar or
00:26:24.760 --> 00:26:27.190
a show, anything you do is for the
00:26:27.200 --> 00:26:29.830
social aspect and the entertainment. In
00:26:29.840 --> 00:26:31.830
hospitality and restaurant scene, we
00:26:31.840 --> 00:26:33.870
have to provide both of those things.
00:26:33.880 --> 00:26:35.790
We're not singing and dancing. It's not
00:26:35.800 --> 00:26:37.670
Texas Roadhouse doing the dance every 30
00:26:37.680 --> 00:26:38.110
minutes.
00:26:38.120 --> 00:26:40.150
>> sir. I will be dancing quite a bit.
00:26:40.160 --> 00:26:41.350
>> You can dance all you want.
00:26:41.360 --> 00:26:41.870
>> Thank you.
00:26:41.880 --> 00:26:44.110
>> What's the song?
00:26:44.120 --> 00:26:46.030
>> Well, if we're going to Texas Roadhouse,
00:26:46.040 --> 00:26:48.033
it's Boot Scootin' Boogie.
00:26:48.043 --> 00:26:49.190
>> [laughter]
00:26:49.200 --> 00:26:50.630
>> I used to work there.
00:26:50.640 --> 00:26:51.630
>> Did you really?
00:26:51.640 --> 00:26:53.030
>> That's where you started, right?
00:26:53.040 --> 00:26:53.470
>> funny.
00:26:53.480 --> 00:26:53.910
>> No.
00:26:53.920 --> 00:26:54.470
>> No?
00:26:54.480 --> 00:26:55.390
>> No.
00:26:55.400 --> 00:26:56.310
>> Uh
00:26:56.320 --> 00:26:58.270
no, I don't know if I would have made
00:26:58.280 --> 00:26:59.190
it. I don't know if I would [laughter]
00:26:59.200 --> 00:27:00.310
have kept doing this if that's where I
00:27:00.320 --> 00:27:01.910
started.
00:27:01.920 --> 00:27:03.790
>> You must know the book uh Unreasonable
00:27:03.800 --> 00:27:04.550
Hospitality.
00:27:04.560 --> 00:27:05.790
>> Of course.
00:27:05.800 --> 00:27:06.790
>> Isn't he amazing?
00:27:06.800 --> 00:27:07.390
>> Yeah.
00:27:07.400 --> 00:27:10.150
>> He's like my idol. That guy is just I
00:27:10.160 --> 00:27:11.510
went to one of his conferences.
00:27:11.520 --> 00:27:12.150
>> Was he good?
00:27:12.160 --> 00:27:13.430
>> Amazing.
00:27:13.440 --> 00:27:14.310
Like
00:27:14.320 --> 00:27:15.390
stupid.
00:27:15.400 --> 00:27:17.070
Unbelievable.
00:27:17.080 --> 00:27:18.350
>> I worry about people that write books
00:27:18.360 --> 00:27:20.910
about hospitality and like this industry
00:27:20.920 --> 00:27:22.590
when they get up on stage and talk like
00:27:22.600 --> 00:27:25.310
a seminar. I always worry that's like
00:27:25.320 --> 00:27:26.350
>> No.
00:27:26.360 --> 00:27:27.710
>> Did you live it? Did you live it?
00:27:27.720 --> 00:27:29.190
>> You should go. It's called the summit
00:27:29.200 --> 00:27:31.270
and you should go. Like it is so well
00:27:31.280 --> 00:27:32.510
worth it. It's not even funny. It's
00:27:32.520 --> 00:27:34.350
amazing. I was blown away.
00:27:34.360 --> 00:27:37.150
>> I'm always surprised that that anyone
00:27:37.160 --> 00:27:39.550
who writes a book on
00:27:39.560 --> 00:27:42.750
the business or hospitality in general,
00:27:42.760 --> 00:27:44.030
I always think they should be like this
00:27:44.040 --> 00:27:45.670
big.
00:27:45.680 --> 00:27:48.110
The fact that they can edit it down to a
00:27:48.120 --> 00:27:51.310
readable, palatable book is crazy cuz
00:27:51.320 --> 00:27:52.790
it's like never-ending. You know what I
00:27:52.800 --> 00:27:54.310
mean?
00:27:54.320 --> 00:27:55.150
>> Yeah.
00:27:55.160 --> 00:27:55.750
>> I could write a book
00:27:55.760 --> 00:27:57.110
>> Only only a handful of us want to
00:27:57.120 --> 00:27:58.670
actually read and listen to that the
00:27:58.680 --> 00:28:00.350
whole time, too. So, I guess it's a
00:28:00.360 --> 00:28:03.270
>> I could write a novel just on this week.
00:28:03.280 --> 00:28:04.550
Just [laughter] on the week.
00:28:04.560 --> 00:28:08.230
>> So, I came in um during the taco tour. I
00:28:08.240 --> 00:28:10.390
had one of your pork belly tacos, which
00:28:10.400 --> 00:28:13.590
was amazing. And you were very gracious
00:28:13.600 --> 00:28:16.430
with me and my my my crew that I had
00:28:16.440 --> 00:28:18.670
came in and gave us like a little tour.
00:28:18.680 --> 00:28:21.790
And you were so excited to show me the
00:28:21.800 --> 00:28:23.009
bathroom.
00:28:23.019 --> 00:28:23.870
>> [laughter]
00:28:23.880 --> 00:28:25.990
>> Let's talk about that. Like the
00:28:26.000 --> 00:28:27.030
bathroom.
00:28:27.040 --> 00:28:31.550
>> We needed one really really eccentric
00:28:31.560 --> 00:28:32.070
piece.
00:28:32.080 --> 00:28:33.510
>> The bathroom is very important.
00:28:33.520 --> 00:28:37.070
>> So, it's it was a 5 by 5 room.
00:28:37.080 --> 00:28:38.830
It's a tiny bathroom.
00:28:38.840 --> 00:28:41.350
It's 8 ft tall and we kind of sat here.
00:28:41.360 --> 00:28:43.550
It's like we can't put a table in here.
00:28:43.560 --> 00:28:45.950
There's no there's no sunlight at all.
00:28:45.960 --> 00:28:47.350
Sometimes you get a bathroom, you open
00:28:47.360 --> 00:28:49.390
the door, you get a little sunlight in.
00:28:49.400 --> 00:28:51.310
Plants are out of the question.
00:28:51.320 --> 00:28:52.310
So,
00:28:52.320 --> 00:28:55.030
what are we doing with the bathroom?
00:28:55.040 --> 00:28:57.230
And originally, I wanted tarot card the
00:28:57.240 --> 00:28:58.830
floor
00:28:58.840 --> 00:29:01.150
and epoxy over it.
00:29:01.160 --> 00:29:03.310
And I threw that out to a couple people
00:29:03.320 --> 00:29:05.510
that are in the in that world, very
00:29:05.520 --> 00:29:06.870
astrological people.
00:29:06.880 --> 00:29:07.590
>> Oh.
00:29:07.600 --> 00:29:09.310
>> And uh I was chewed out.
00:29:09.320 --> 00:29:10.670
>> That was a no-no.
00:29:10.680 --> 00:29:12.870
>> "How dare you step on the cards?" And I
00:29:12.880 --> 00:29:14.390
said, "Well, I'm going to put them on
00:29:14.400 --> 00:29:16.230
the wall then." And then I cut them up.
00:29:16.240 --> 00:29:19.870
But it was 780
00:29:19.880 --> 00:29:22.110
individual tarot cards.
00:29:22.120 --> 00:29:23.830
And we wallpapered the bathroom.
00:29:23.840 --> 00:29:24.590
>> And who helped you out with the
00:29:24.600 --> 00:29:25.030
bathroom?
00:29:25.040 --> 00:29:25.750
>> I
00:29:25.760 --> 00:29:28.230
That I That was my project.
00:29:28.240 --> 00:29:30.110
>> I said, "I'm not helping with that."
00:29:30.120 --> 00:29:30.670
>> Yeah.
00:29:30.680 --> 00:29:33.150
And it's just it gives it this When you
00:29:33.160 --> 00:29:35.110
go in there, it's similar to what Dan
00:29:35.120 --> 00:29:37.350
said about small space, but there's
00:29:37.360 --> 00:29:38.590
three different It's almost like there's
00:29:38.600 --> 00:29:39.750
three different rooms in here.
00:29:39.760 --> 00:29:40.550
>> I love it.
00:29:40.560 --> 00:29:42.310
>> When you go into the bathroom, it's
00:29:42.320 --> 00:29:44.750
extremely calming from It's a very dim
00:29:44.760 --> 00:29:45.830
light.
00:29:45.840 --> 00:29:46.670
You're not going to be able to see
00:29:46.680 --> 00:29:48.190
anything in there, which we might have
00:29:48.200 --> 00:29:49.230
to change, but
00:29:49.240 --> 00:29:50.350
>> We're going to put a selfie light in
00:29:50.360 --> 00:29:50.630
there.
00:29:50.640 --> 00:29:52.550
>> We are going to put a selfie
00:29:52.560 --> 00:29:54.070
selfies, everyone.
00:29:54.080 --> 00:29:56.310
>> Did I tell you about my son's bathroom
00:29:56.320 --> 00:29:58.150
at his place? I didn't tell you about
00:29:58.160 --> 00:29:58.790
that that night.
00:29:58.800 --> 00:29:59.870
>> tarot carded?
00:29:59.880 --> 00:30:02.110
>> No, no, no, but he doesn't own it
00:30:02.120 --> 00:30:03.550
anymore, but he used to own Hap's Roast
00:30:03.560 --> 00:30:05.550
Beef in um
00:30:05.560 --> 00:30:06.230
>> Really?
00:30:06.240 --> 00:30:07.190
>> Portsmouth.
00:30:07.200 --> 00:30:08.870
Hap's Roast Beef. That was
00:30:08.880 --> 00:30:11.430
He wasn't the original. He He had had
00:30:11.440 --> 00:30:13.110
had it for 3 years. He just sold it like
00:30:13.120 --> 00:30:14.790
maybe a year ago.
00:30:14.800 --> 00:30:17.590
And I mean, he's my kid, a little
00:30:17.600 --> 00:30:18.870
quirky.
00:30:18.880 --> 00:30:21.190
And when you walk into his bathroom in
00:30:21.200 --> 00:30:23.510
there, it cuz you know, you walk into
00:30:23.520 --> 00:30:24.910
Hap's, it's just you go up, you order,
00:30:24.920 --> 00:30:27.150
you sit down, it's tables, it's not you
00:30:27.160 --> 00:30:29.110
know, fancy or anything like that. You
00:30:29.120 --> 00:30:31.070
walk into that bathroom, and it is like
00:30:31.080 --> 00:30:33.750
you were going into a Boston speak easy.
00:30:33.760 --> 00:30:36.470
Like he did it up like And that's what
00:30:36.480 --> 00:30:37.390
that reminded me of.
00:30:37.400 --> 00:30:38.910
>> Yeah, I saw it on What did you eat
00:30:38.920 --> 00:30:40.070
today, sir?
00:30:40.080 --> 00:30:40.990
>> I know.
00:30:41.000 --> 00:30:43.030
Yes, he went in and yeah.
00:30:43.040 --> 00:30:45.350
put it on an episode of like would you
00:30:45.360 --> 00:30:46.670
[ __ ] in this bathroom?
00:30:46.680 --> 00:30:49.230
>> There are so many bathrooms.
00:30:49.240 --> 00:30:52.230
He made it on so many bathroom forums. I
00:30:52.240 --> 00:30:54.750
didn't even know that that even existed.
00:30:54.760 --> 00:30:56.470
His bathroom was like rated number one
00:30:56.480 --> 00:30:59.270
like so many times.
00:30:59.280 --> 00:31:00.910
>> It's one of the most important parts of
00:31:00.920 --> 00:31:01.070
a restaurant.
00:31:01.080 --> 00:31:01.670
>> Yeah.
00:31:01.680 --> 00:31:03.390
>> Yep, the front door and the bathroom.
00:31:03.400 --> 00:31:05.390
>> So everybody, make sure when you come in
00:31:05.400 --> 00:31:07.070
you go use the bathroom.
00:31:07.080 --> 00:31:09.070
Love it.
00:31:09.080 --> 00:31:10.830
Oh, I'm I'm going to before I leave for
00:31:10.840 --> 00:31:11.430
sure.
00:31:11.440 --> 00:31:13.510
>> What I imagine and like our running joke
00:31:13.520 --> 00:31:16.390
now is someone's going to go in there,
00:31:16.400 --> 00:31:17.590
they're going to sit down on the toilet,
00:31:17.600 --> 00:31:18.310
and they're going to look up and be
00:31:18.320 --> 00:31:19.590
like, "Oh my god, the death card's
00:31:19.600 --> 00:31:20.516
looking at me."
00:31:20.526 --> 00:31:21.270
>> [laughter]
00:31:21.280 --> 00:31:23.310
>> What does that mean? Like the death
00:31:23.320 --> 00:31:24.790
card. They'll have to Google it. And
00:31:24.800 --> 00:31:26.510
it's right next to the ten of cups and
00:31:26.520 --> 00:31:28.310
the six of pee.
00:31:28.320 --> 00:31:30.190
So it's just going to like
00:31:30.200 --> 00:31:32.230
What it we had to make something that
00:31:32.240 --> 00:31:34.470
was that stood out. We wanted something
00:31:34.480 --> 00:31:34.710
to stand
00:31:34.720 --> 00:31:37.150
>> I love it. I think it's it's awesome.
00:31:37.160 --> 00:31:39.150
>> People go in there and the bathroom
00:31:39.160 --> 00:31:41.870
before we touch it to now
00:31:41.880 --> 00:31:45.630
it was like a 1980s office in there, but
00:31:45.640 --> 00:31:47.350
they didn't drywall anything. It was
00:31:47.360 --> 00:31:50.190
just that thin plywood. It was gross.
00:31:50.200 --> 00:31:50.830
>> Yeah.
00:31:50.840 --> 00:31:52.510
>> But now you go in there and you take a
00:31:52.520 --> 00:31:53.990
selfie and every time someone puts up a
00:31:54.000 --> 00:31:55.030
selfie they're like, "Oh, that's a
00:31:55.040 --> 00:31:55.590
without that."
00:31:55.600 --> 00:31:57.150
>> Selfie, that's that's awesome. I think
00:31:57.160 --> 00:31:58.190
that's so
00:31:58.200 --> 00:31:59.510
I love that. They are of course they
00:31:59.520 --> 00:32:00.830
are. And then they're going to of course
00:32:00.840 --> 00:32:05.270
put it on social media and
00:32:05.280 --> 00:32:07.350
Exactly.
00:32:07.360 --> 00:32:09.830

00:32:48.920 --> 00:32:51.150
Keeping [music] it simple, affordable,
00:32:51.160 --> 00:32:53.550
and delicious.
00:32:53.560 --> 00:32:55.510
>> Okay, so let's talk about, you know,
00:32:55.520 --> 00:32:57.190
Nick, you you're running Shoppers.
00:32:57.200 --> 00:32:57.830
>> Yeah.
00:32:57.840 --> 00:32:59.270
>> Anything new or exciting happening at
00:32:59.280 --> 00:32:59.790
Shoppers?
00:32:59.800 --> 00:33:01.910
>> Well, July, if we didn't have enough
00:33:01.920 --> 00:33:03.830
going on, I
00:33:03.840 --> 00:33:06.030
I am a firm believer that every 5 years
00:33:06.040 --> 00:33:08.190
something should be refreshed.
00:33:08.200 --> 00:33:10.030
We were on year seven there and I said,
00:33:10.040 --> 00:33:11.910
"Fuck it, let's renovate." So, I painted
00:33:11.920 --> 00:33:13.110
everything
00:33:13.120 --> 00:33:14.790
dark blue, made it more of that
00:33:14.800 --> 00:33:17.310
Boston-esque sports bar feel.
00:33:17.320 --> 00:33:18.390
>> We were just in there.
00:33:18.400 --> 00:33:18.790
>> Yeah.
00:33:18.800 --> 00:33:20.510
>> I did notice that and it looked really
00:33:20.520 --> 00:33:20.910
good.
00:33:20.920 --> 00:33:24.350
>> Yeah. So, I found uh I found this faux
00:33:24.360 --> 00:33:27.270
brick B wall type stuff to put up. So, I
00:33:27.280 --> 00:33:29.590
did good amount of brick in there.
00:33:29.600 --> 00:33:32.190
Once the summer's over, I have all the
00:33:32.200 --> 00:33:33.870
high top legs put everything in the back
00:33:33.880 --> 00:33:36.110
to high top, so we're just trying to
00:33:36.120 --> 00:33:38.270
build that Boston-esque sports bar that
00:33:38.280 --> 00:33:40.030
we should have been the whole time.
00:33:40.040 --> 00:33:41.470
And
00:33:41.480 --> 00:33:42.910
obviously, there's a lot of us that are
00:33:42.920 --> 00:33:44.030
involved in there. A lot of us are
00:33:44.040 --> 00:33:46.790
creatives. Sometimes our minds don't
00:33:46.800 --> 00:33:49.150
line up accordingly.
00:33:49.160 --> 00:33:51.710
>> This is That happens.
00:33:51.720 --> 00:33:52.390
That happens.
00:33:52.400 --> 00:33:54.070
>> Whatever you wanted to say, said.
00:33:54.080 --> 00:33:55.098
>> No, it's just
00:33:55.108 --> 00:33:56.350
>> [laughter]
00:33:56.360 --> 00:33:58.950
>> So, there's a Shoppers in Waltham. It's
00:33:58.960 --> 00:34:01.950
been there for 87 years and it's always
00:34:01.960 --> 00:34:04.030
worked. You know, we came up here, we
00:34:04.040 --> 00:34:06.150
thought, "Hey, it works down there, it
00:34:06.160 --> 00:34:08.629
should work up here." And we've busted
00:34:08.639 --> 00:34:11.750
our balls for 7 years and it works,
00:34:11.760 --> 00:34:13.149
but there's more that we can get out of
00:34:13.159 --> 00:34:14.990
it and we kind of sat down together as a
00:34:15.000 --> 00:34:16.990
group and said, "All right, we've tried
00:34:17.000 --> 00:34:18.190
this, we've tried this, we've tried
00:34:18.200 --> 00:34:19.629
this. What do you What do you think
00:34:19.639 --> 00:34:20.710
would work?"
00:34:20.720 --> 00:34:22.750
We said, "Well, let's repaint it, let's
00:34:22.760 --> 00:34:25.230
wrap the walls, let's dive heavy into
00:34:25.240 --> 00:34:26.909
sports." And that's kind of what we've
00:34:26.919 --> 00:34:28.710
done. So, football season is what I'm
00:34:28.720 --> 00:34:30.669
looking forward to and I'm going to get
00:34:30.679 --> 00:34:32.950
a real test to see like
00:34:32.960 --> 00:34:35.590
did it work? Is it Is it cooler or is it
00:34:35.600 --> 00:34:37.030
like a better vibe? So.
00:34:37.040 --> 00:34:38.790
>> We had a darn good burger there, too. It
00:34:38.800 --> 00:34:40.110
was very good.
00:34:40.120 --> 00:34:42.258
>> That is good. It was very good.
00:34:42.268 --> 00:34:42.869
>> [laughter]
00:34:42.879 --> 00:34:44.790
>> It was It was really good. It really
00:34:44.800 --> 00:34:45.149
was.
00:34:45.159 --> 00:34:47.110
>> in If I'm ever in the kitchen, which is
00:34:47.120 --> 00:34:48.710

>> center was like, "Hey, someone left a
00:35:06.920 --> 00:35:08.150
card for you." I looked at it and I'm
00:35:08.160 --> 00:35:09.830
like
00:35:09.840 --> 00:35:11.710
I was like, "Oh, were they nice?"
00:35:11.720 --> 00:35:13.630
They're like, "Yeah, she was very nice.
00:35:13.640 --> 00:35:15.190
She kept filming herself, though." I go,
00:35:15.200 --> 00:35:16.910
"Yeah, that's [ __ ] Carol, dude."
00:35:16.920 --> 00:35:18.710
>> I wasn't filming myself. I was doing a
00:35:18.720 --> 00:35:19.350
reel.
00:35:19.360 --> 00:35:20.249
>> Hell yeah.
00:35:20.259 --> 00:35:20.510
>> [laughter]

They'd all learn, yeah.
00:35:24.840 --> 00:35:27.470
>> That's funny. That's funny. So, in the
00:35:27.480 --> 00:35:29.630
end, now you're part of Industry East?
00:35:29.640 --> 00:35:29.950

>> We got to talk about the glizzys.
00:35:39.760 --> 00:35:41.550
>> Yeah, you can absolutely talk about the
00:35:41.560 --> 00:35:43.590
glizzys.
00:35:43.600 --> 00:35:46.790
We're going We're in year six now, so I
00:35:46.800 --> 00:35:48.510
don't know if we talked about this on
00:35:48.520 --> 00:35:50.830
the last one I was on, but we've been
00:35:50.840 --> 00:35:52.910
doing the wiener of the week since we
00:35:52.920 --> 00:35:54.190
opened.
00:35:54.200 --> 00:35:55.390
I don't know. On top of the ones that we
00:35:55.400 --> 00:35:57.830
always have. So, it's got to be whatever
00:35:57.840 --> 00:36:01.750
that math works out to. What's 6 * 52?
00:36:01.760 --> 00:36:03.110
52
00:36:03.120 --> 00:36:03.750
>> A lot.
00:36:03.760 --> 00:36:06.070
>> It's a lot. So, I mean, we've done well
00:36:06.080 --> 00:36:06.550
over
00:36:06.560 --> 00:36:07.030
>> Yeah.
00:36:07.040 --> 00:36:11.830
>> well over 300 custom weekly hot dogs
00:36:11.840 --> 00:36:13.950
there.
00:36:13.960 --> 00:36:16.230
You know, and it never intended it to be
00:36:16.240 --> 00:36:17.110
the hot dog
00:36:17.120 --> 00:36:18.310
>> But it's caught on.
00:36:18.320 --> 00:36:19.790
>> But it is, and so, you know.
00:36:19.800 --> 00:36:20.390
>> on.
00:36:20.400 --> 00:36:22.910
>> It's It's going great. You know, we we
00:36:22.920 --> 00:36:25.390
Our restaurant You can't create a space.
00:36:25.400 --> 00:36:27.190
You can create a restaurant. You can
00:36:27.200 --> 00:36:30.110
create a bar, and have it be the way you
00:36:30.120 --> 00:36:31.790
want it to be.
00:36:31.800 --> 00:36:33.870
But eventually it shapes itself.
00:36:33.880 --> 00:36:33.990
>> Yeah.
00:36:34.000 --> 00:36:35.190
>> Your customers shape it.
00:36:35.200 --> 00:36:35.630
>> Yeah.
00:36:35.640 --> 00:36:36.470
>> Your staff shapes it.
00:36:36.480 --> 00:36:38.030
>> Sometimes it's not what you You know,
00:36:38.040 --> 00:36:39.790
even maybe here. You know, maybe you'll
00:36:39.800 --> 00:36:40.670
have to You know,
00:36:40.680 --> 00:36:43.150
>> going to kind of relate it to that. Like
00:36:43.160 --> 00:36:45.430
here, you know, we have our you know,
00:36:45.440 --> 00:36:47.350
our vision of you know, we have our
00:36:47.360 --> 00:36:49.230
menu, we have our drinks, we have the
00:36:49.240 --> 00:36:50.470
look. I mean, the look's not going to
00:36:50.480 --> 00:36:53.150
change that much because it took
00:36:53.160 --> 00:36:55.190
[ __ ] 9 months to get it done.
00:36:55.200 --> 00:36:55.950
So, [laughter]
00:36:55.960 --> 00:36:57.470
but you know,
00:36:57.480 --> 00:37:00.190
you know, perhaps it become you know,
00:37:00.200 --> 00:37:02.270
maybe a couple of Josh's like custom
00:37:02.280 --> 00:37:04.150
dishes or
00:37:04.160 --> 00:37:05.630
are his recipes they have and maybe it
00:37:05.640 --> 00:37:06.990
becomes
00:37:07.000 --> 00:37:08.790
maybe it becomes known as the Hawaiian
00:37:08.800 --> 00:37:09.110
place.
00:37:09.120 --> 00:37:10.750
>> Right, exactly. I mean, cuz that's
00:37:10.760 --> 00:37:11.590
unique.
00:37:11.600 --> 00:37:11.950
>> bar.
00:37:11.960 --> 00:37:13.110

There's no tiki bars in the state.
00:37:17.760 --> 00:37:20.750
>> Yes, Casey's. I was just at one last I
00:37:20.760 --> 00:37:22.190

00:37:22.200 --> 00:37:22.510
>> Where was that?
00:37:22.520 --> 00:37:23.230

00:37:23.240 --> 00:37:23.990
>> Casey's?
00:37:24.000 --> 00:37:24.670
>> Rum Shack.
00:37:24.680 --> 00:37:25.070
>> Oh, they

We were just there last night. That's so
00:37:40.000 --> 00:37:40.550
funny that
00:37:40.560 --> 00:37:42.190

>> You got to go look at it. Go check it
00:37:45.960 --> 00:37:46.190
out.
00:37:46.200 --> 00:37:47.710
>> I've seen it. I thought it was just the
00:37:47.720 --> 00:37:49.350
setup for the outdoor bar. I didn't
00:37:49.360 --> 00:37:49.630
realize
00:37:49.640 --> 00:37:50.670
>> It is.
00:37:50.680 --> 00:37:52.270
>> But is it like a tiki oriented
00:37:52.280 --> 00:37:53.510

Totally. Like it's like you're in Key

West.

we kind of let them
00:38:22.000 --> 00:38:23.350
do their thing, you know? Like if
00:38:23.360 --> 00:38:25.150
something absolutely sucks, we just go,
00:38:25.160 --> 00:38:27.550
"Nope. That's awful.
00:38:27.560 --> 00:38:29.630
Sorry, man. Not going to work." But that
00:38:29.640 --> 00:38:32.190
rarely happens, and if something is not
00:38:32.200 --> 00:38:34.870
going going to fit into, you know, the
00:38:34.880 --> 00:38:37.510
the rest of the menu, you'll modify it.
00:38:37.520 --> 00:38:39.510
You might put it on the back burner.
00:38:39.520 --> 00:38:41.510
Hey, let's let's revisit that, you know,
00:38:41.520 --> 00:38:42.670
but it's
00:38:42.680 --> 00:38:45.310
everyone has a say in in in what goes on
00:38:45.320 --> 00:38:48.590
the menu for food, for drinks, for
00:38:48.600 --> 00:38:49.270
everything.
00:38:49.280 --> 00:38:50.830
>> I think that's so important, cuz it
00:38:50.840 --> 00:38:52.910
makes them feel that they're part of it,
00:38:52.920 --> 00:38:54.430
you know? The the line cook in the
00:38:54.440 --> 00:38:56.630
kitchen isn't just a line cook. They can
00:38:56.640 --> 00:38:58.590
be creative, which is important.
00:38:58.600 --> 00:39:00.390
>> cares a little more, you know? Like,
00:39:00.400 --> 00:39:03.230
"Oh, this is my place. Like I
00:39:03.240 --> 00:39:06.230
when I come in to work here, not to like
00:39:06.240 --> 00:39:07.750
that's my drink on the menu. Pride in
00:39:07.760 --> 00:39:08.390
the work.
00:39:08.400 --> 00:39:09.230
>> Exactly.
00:39:09.240 --> 00:39:12.110
>> And then cuz, you know, the guests, they
00:39:12.120 --> 00:39:13.870
realize that, too. Oh, who's working
00:39:13.880 --> 00:39:15.750
tonight? I'm sure everyone has their
00:39:15.760 --> 00:39:18.190
favorites, right? But
00:39:18.200 --> 00:39:19.470
doesn't matter what night you go in,
00:39:19.480 --> 00:39:21.150
because everyone that that's there is
00:39:21.160 --> 00:39:24.470
going to make your night fun. And that's
00:39:24.480 --> 00:39:27.390
in this in these trying ti- restaurants
00:39:27.400 --> 00:39:28.230
are hurting.
00:39:28.240 --> 00:39:29.630
>> Yeah. It's hard.
00:39:29.640 --> 00:39:31.590
>> Yeah. Things are everything's up.
00:39:31.600 --> 00:39:32.070
>> It's tough.
00:39:32.080 --> 00:39:34.550
>> I mean, my [ __ ] electric bill is more
00:39:34.560 --> 00:39:36.790
than my rent over there, which is
00:39:36.800 --> 00:39:39.310
insane. That's insane. You know, 3 years
00:39:39.320 --> 00:39:41.110
ago, it was
00:39:41.120 --> 00:39:43.390
it was less than half the rent. Now it's
00:39:43.400 --> 00:39:45.670
more than the rent. Like it's it's a
00:39:45.680 --> 00:39:47.150
it's a tough game out there, and the
00:39:47.160 --> 00:39:49.350
only like I think I touched on it in the
00:39:49.360 --> 00:39:52.270
when we first sat down today, it was
00:39:52.280 --> 00:39:54.990
the only thing that's going to
00:39:55.000 --> 00:39:56.190
the only thing that's going to keep it
00:39:56.200 --> 00:39:57.990
going is hospitality.
00:39:58.000 --> 00:39:58.390
>> Yeah.
00:39:58.400 --> 00:39:59.950
>> Yeah. So there are places that are
00:39:59.960 --> 00:40:00.870
You're right. You got to step it up.
00:40:00.880 --> 00:40:02.110
There are places that are
00:40:02.120 --> 00:40:04.350
>> that are making it through,
00:40:04.360 --> 00:40:07.510
they're like that's going to be
00:40:07.520 --> 00:40:09.470
Yeah, people I hope everyone realizes
00:40:09.480 --> 00:40:09.590
that.
00:40:09.600 --> 00:40:10.590
>> Yeah. That's true.
00:40:10.600 --> 00:40:11.950
>> everyone realizes that that's going to
00:40:11.960 --> 00:40:14.550
be the thing that makes it through is
00:40:14.560 --> 00:40:16.870
the place where you feel
00:40:16.880 --> 00:40:19.350
welcomed and like it's your place. Like
00:40:19.360 --> 00:40:21.870
when you walk in, oh, this is my spot,
00:40:21.880 --> 00:40:22.470
you know?
00:40:22.480 --> 00:40:23.190
>> Yeah.
00:40:23.200 --> 00:40:24.190
>> Those are the places that are going to
00:40:24.200 --> 00:40:24.910
make it.
00:40:24.920 --> 00:40:26.510
>> And also the ones that have like a $3
00:40:26.520 --> 00:40:28.430
million bankroll. Those places are
00:40:28.440 --> 00:40:28.670
probably
00:40:28.680 --> 00:40:30.230
>> That also helps.
00:40:31.520 --> 00:40:33.750
>> But we can't all be so lucky.
00:40:33.760 --> 00:40:36.470
>> So, the two of you, first you started
00:40:36.480 --> 00:40:37.910
with Mokkapot, so the two of you have
00:40:37.920 --> 00:40:40.110
Mokkapot together. How did this
00:40:40.120 --> 00:40:42.270
relationship start? Like how
00:40:42.280 --> 00:40:45.310
>> to know the real story of how we
00:40:45.320 --> 00:40:46.670
Well, Dan and Angie started the
00:40:46.680 --> 00:40:47.430
Mokkapot.
00:40:47.440 --> 00:40:47.790
>> Yeah.
00:40:47.800 --> 00:40:51.190
>> We just joined them
00:40:51.200 --> 00:40:52.910
and gave them the bigger space.
00:40:52.920 --> 00:40:53.270
>> Yeah.
00:40:53.280 --> 00:40:55.950
>> But this Well, acquiring that was our
00:40:55.960 --> 00:40:57.190
first venture together.
00:40:57.200 --> 00:40:57.910
>> Yeah.
00:40:57.920 --> 00:40:59.550
>> Well, I did work for Nick for a little
00:40:59.560 --> 00:40:59.950
bit.
00:40:59.960 --> 00:41:00.470
>> Yeah.
00:41:00.480 --> 00:41:01.230
>> So did Jeremy.
00:41:01.240 --> 00:41:02.950
>> Jeremy and Dan worked at Chop.
00:41:02.960 --> 00:41:03.950
>> Oh, really?
00:41:03.960 --> 00:41:06.230
>> So, the way we met, this is one of the
00:41:06.240 --> 00:41:07.670
best stories.
00:41:07.680 --> 00:41:09.550
>> It's really good.
00:41:09.560 --> 00:41:13.190
>> It was We opened on July 1st 19, which
00:41:13.200 --> 00:41:14.670
was a Friday.
00:41:14.680 --> 00:41:17.710
On Sunday, I get a phone call.
00:41:17.720 --> 00:41:19.430
And it's to the bar, so I answer the
00:41:19.440 --> 00:41:20.670
bar.
00:41:20.680 --> 00:41:23.550
And it's just this voice
00:41:23.560 --> 00:41:26.030
that says, "Hey, uh
00:41:26.040 --> 00:41:29.430
I was just like wondering if you guys
00:41:29.440 --> 00:41:32.750
like are open?"
00:41:32.760 --> 00:41:34.950
And it took so long to ask the question
00:41:34.960 --> 00:41:37.190
that I forgot where I was, and I said,
00:41:37.200 --> 00:41:38.710
"Why the [ __ ] would I answer the phone
00:41:38.720 --> 00:41:41.030
if we weren't open?" And that is
00:41:41.040 --> 00:41:42.590
word for word.
00:41:42.600 --> 00:41:45.310
And all I got was, "Ha ha. All right,
00:41:45.320 --> 00:41:47.270
man. We'll see you soon." And it was
00:41:47.280 --> 00:41:49.790
Jeremy calling asking if we were open
00:41:49.800 --> 00:41:52.510
yet. And I think you guys had just
00:41:52.520 --> 00:41:53.710
started
00:41:53.720 --> 00:41:55.390
>> Yeah, we had just started
00:41:55.400 --> 00:41:57.550
>> demo where Industry is.
00:41:57.560 --> 00:41:58.550
>> Yeah. Okay.
00:41:58.560 --> 00:41:59.350
>> So, then
00:41:59.360 --> 00:42:00.350
>> We were hungry.
00:42:00.360 --> 00:42:03.550
>> Dan and Jeremy come in, and I walk over,
00:42:03.560 --> 00:42:05.590
and Jeremy starts He says, "Hey, man,
00:42:05.600 --> 00:42:06.630
what's up?" I'm like, "Are you the one
00:42:06.640 --> 00:42:07.670
that called?" He says, "Yeah." I was
00:42:07.680 --> 00:42:09.030
like, "All right, this makes sense. You
00:42:09.040 --> 00:42:10.590
guys seem all right."
00:42:10.600 --> 00:42:12.350
So, we get to like shooting the [ __ ]
00:42:12.360 --> 00:42:14.870
and then orders a uh
00:42:14.880 --> 00:42:16.910
He's like, "I'll take a a large fat boy
00:42:16.920 --> 00:42:19.630
pizza, bee hive burger,
00:42:19.640 --> 00:42:21.670
and uh we'll do a steak and cheese."
00:42:21.680 --> 00:42:22.710
He's like, "All right, man, sounds
00:42:22.720 --> 00:42:24.110
good." He's like, "Extra mayo." I'm
00:42:24.120 --> 00:42:25.990
like, "All right, cool." Start walking
00:42:26.000 --> 00:42:27.470
away, and Jeremy goes, "Oh, can I
00:42:27.480 --> 00:42:29.710
actually put some food in, too?"
00:42:29.720 --> 00:42:31.030
Turn around, I'm like,
00:42:31.040 --> 00:42:31.899
"What?"
00:42:31.909 --> 00:42:32.510
>> [laughter]
00:42:32.520 --> 00:42:33.750
>> Hungry.
00:42:33.760 --> 00:42:35.550
>> And that was Danny ordered all for
00:42:35.560 --> 00:42:37.470
himself. I was like, "Dude." So, I go
00:42:37.480 --> 00:42:39.110
back, I'm like, "What the [ __ ] is up
00:42:39.120 --> 00:42:40.414
with these guys?"
00:42:40.424 --> 00:42:40.910
>> [laughter]
00:42:40.920 --> 00:42:42.350
>> So, I bring the food over, and then I
00:42:42.360 --> 00:42:43.550
start like really talking to them. I'm
00:42:43.560 --> 00:42:45.430
like, "Oh, these guys are men." And they
00:42:45.440 --> 00:42:47.670
tell me about industry, and how they've
00:42:47.680 --> 00:42:49.510
been they worked at Birch for a long
00:42:49.520 --> 00:42:50.910
time, and they're still there, but
00:42:50.920 --> 00:42:52.190
they're opening their own venture, and
00:42:52.200 --> 00:42:53.950
all this stuff. So, we just kind of
00:42:53.960 --> 00:42:55.270
became friends through that.
00:42:55.280 --> 00:42:57.790
>> Okay. So, how long ago was that?
00:42:57.800 --> 00:42:59.030
>> This was 7 years ago.
00:42:59.040 --> 00:42:59.950
>> Okay. All right.
00:42:59.960 --> 00:43:02.190
>> And the food was good, so we went back.
00:43:02.200 --> 00:43:03.230
>> Yeah.
00:43:03.240 --> 00:43:05.150
And then again, and again,
00:43:05.160 --> 00:43:06.950
and then at some point, you guys were
00:43:06.960 --> 00:43:08.190
like,
00:43:08.200 --> 00:43:10.510
>> During COVID, we couldn't There were
00:43:10.520 --> 00:43:11.550
There was no place to work.
00:43:11.560 --> 00:43:11.950
>> Yeah.
00:43:11.960 --> 00:43:14.230
>> And we were still building over there.
00:43:14.240 --> 00:43:16.950
So, we didn't have any money, and we had
00:43:16.960 --> 00:43:19.590
no place to work. But Choppers was big
00:43:19.600 --> 00:43:20.990
enough.
00:43:21.000 --> 00:43:21.550
Uh
00:43:21.560 --> 00:43:22.630
>> We could space everything out.
00:43:22.640 --> 00:43:24.299
>> Everything could be spaced out. And
00:43:24.309 --> 00:43:25.390
[clears throat] they had the outside as
00:43:25.400 --> 00:43:25.830
well.
00:43:25.840 --> 00:43:28.870
>> everyone. So, I went from 28 staff to
00:43:28.880 --> 00:43:30.230
six.
00:43:30.240 --> 00:43:30.870
>> Wow.
00:43:30.880 --> 00:43:33.110
>> Pre-COVID to post-COVID. So, I was
00:43:33.120 --> 00:43:35.310
working doubles all day. My boy Tom was
00:43:35.320 --> 00:43:36.950
working doubles with me all day, and we
00:43:36.960 --> 00:43:38.670
were just getting burnt out.
00:43:38.680 --> 00:43:40.030
And then Danny and Jeremy are coming in,
00:43:40.040 --> 00:43:41.110
and I'm like, "Yo, you guys want to just
00:43:41.120 --> 00:43:42.510
like pick up some shifts here?"
00:43:42.520 --> 00:43:44.670
>> Really, please God, yes.
00:43:44.680 --> 00:43:45.950
>> So, uh Danny and Jeremy worked at
00:43:45.960 --> 00:43:48.310
Choppers for maybe like
00:43:48.320 --> 00:43:49.910
3 months max.
00:43:49.920 --> 00:43:51.910
>> I worked on Wednesdays.
00:43:51.920 --> 00:43:52.550
>> Or business.
00:43:52.560 --> 00:43:54.070
>> Jeremy worked Yeah, Jeremy worked
00:43:54.080 --> 00:43:56.190
Tuesdays, and I worked Wednesdays. I
00:43:56.200 --> 00:43:58.030
don't think anyone remembers that at
00:43:58.040 --> 00:43:58.430
all.
00:43:58.440 --> 00:43:58.870
>> No.
00:43:58.880 --> 00:43:59.590
>> That's right.
00:43:59.600 --> 00:44:01.030
>> they're like, "Yo, our place is almost
00:44:01.040 --> 00:44:01.950
done, peace." I was like, "All right,
00:44:01.960 --> 00:44:03.270
see you guys."
00:44:03.280 --> 00:44:04.870
And then we returned the favor, and we
00:44:04.880 --> 00:44:07.830
were going to Industry every night.
00:44:07.840 --> 00:44:09.430
Every single night.
00:44:09.440 --> 00:44:11.750
>> So, that's how you guys met. Okay, I
00:44:11.760 --> 00:44:12.270
love it.
00:44:12.280 --> 00:44:14.190
>> But then I think at some point in the
00:44:14.200 --> 00:44:17.110
past 5 years, Dan had
00:44:17.120 --> 00:44:18.350
brought it up. He's like, "Dude, I would
00:44:18.360 --> 00:44:20.510
love that see y'all pub spot. I would
00:44:20.520 --> 00:44:23.070
love that corner spot. That'd be sick."
00:44:23.080 --> 00:44:24.470
So, I was like, "Yeah, dude, I would do
00:44:24.480 --> 00:44:25.510
that with you. I do that with you,
00:44:25.520 --> 00:44:28.270
whatever." And our careers grew and grew
00:44:28.280 --> 00:44:30.590
and grew over the past few years.
00:44:30.600 --> 00:44:33.030
And we actually went out to dinner. We
00:44:33.040 --> 00:44:35.110
were at Viale.
00:44:35.120 --> 00:44:36.910
We had brought it up again. We were just
00:44:36.920 --> 00:44:39.030
just shooting the [ __ ]
00:44:39.040 --> 00:44:41.230
Two guys in restaurants, whatever.
00:44:41.240 --> 00:44:43.110
And
00:44:43.120 --> 00:44:44.910
we walked to this corner. Dan went to
00:44:44.920 --> 00:44:46.830
Industry. I walked home.
00:44:46.840 --> 00:44:49.230
And the minute I got into my house, I
00:44:49.240 --> 00:44:51.310
said said hello to my wife and I get a
00:44:51.320 --> 00:44:53.230
phone call from Dan.
00:44:53.240 --> 00:44:54.910
And I'm like, "What's up?" He's like,
00:44:54.920 --> 00:44:56.710
"It's for sale." I'm like, "What the
00:44:56.720 --> 00:44:57.950
[ __ ] are you talking about?" He's like,
00:44:57.960 --> 00:44:59.590
"It's for sale."
00:44:59.600 --> 00:45:00.350
So,
00:45:00.360 --> 00:45:01.830
>> Yeah, we literally were talking about it
00:45:01.840 --> 00:45:02.990
like
00:45:03.000 --> 00:45:05.230
10 minutes beforehand. So, it's kind of
00:45:05.240 --> 00:45:06.350
wild.
00:45:06.360 --> 00:45:08.550
Kismet? Is that what the kids say?
00:45:08.560 --> 00:45:08.950
>> Kiz-
00:45:08.960 --> 00:45:10.070
>> Was it kismet?
00:45:10.080 --> 00:45:11.030
>> What the
00:45:11.040 --> 00:45:11.590
What?
00:45:11.600 --> 00:45:12.950
>> you know, when something's supposed to
00:45:12.960 --> 00:45:14.750
happen, then it happens.
00:45:14.760 --> 00:45:16.670
>> I think that's called manifesting.
00:45:16.680 --> 00:45:17.910
>> Well, now I
00:45:17.920 --> 00:45:19.270
>> we're both wrong. But I'm probably
00:45:19.280 --> 00:45:21.390
closer to being right.
00:45:21.400 --> 00:45:21.910
Uh
00:45:21.920 --> 00:45:23.110
>> No, I think kismet. I think you're
00:45:23.120 --> 00:45:23.870
right.
00:45:23.880 --> 00:45:25.030
>> It is. Yeah, it is.
00:45:25.040 --> 00:45:26.870
>> Angelica, you throw some Is kismet a
00:45:26.880 --> 00:45:27.441
thing?
00:45:27.451 --> 00:45:28.030
>> [laughter]
00:45:28.040 --> 00:45:29.990
>> It's kismet.
00:45:30.000 --> 00:45:30.910
>> Right.
00:45:30.920 --> 00:45:31.910
>> Well, we would have We would have had to
00:45:31.920 --> 00:45:34.990
manifest it beforehand. But anyway,
00:45:35.000 --> 00:45:36.950
uh now it worked out and then
00:45:36.960 --> 00:45:38.150
>> all our ducks in a row.
00:45:38.160 --> 00:45:39.030
>> It was one of those things where we're
00:45:39.040 --> 00:45:40.790
like, "Do we do it?"
00:45:40.800 --> 00:45:42.630
And you know how those things go. It's
00:45:42.640 --> 00:45:44.750
like, "Well, you got to [ __ ] or get off
00:45:44.760 --> 00:45:46.590
the pot." And then you make that
00:45:46.600 --> 00:45:48.270
decision, and then you do it, and then
00:45:48.280 --> 00:45:50.950
you go, "Oh, [ __ ] Well,
00:45:50.960 --> 00:45:53.070
we sure have done it, haven't we?"
00:45:53.080 --> 00:45:55.230
Uh you know, we had had the business
00:45:55.240 --> 00:45:56.710
plan for
00:45:56.720 --> 00:45:58.950
well, a light version of it, you know,
00:45:58.960 --> 00:46:00.630
like, "Oh, it'd be cool to do this. Oh,
00:46:00.640 --> 00:46:03.350
it'd be cool to do that. Mocabots was
00:46:03.360 --> 00:46:04.710
and still is crushing it.
00:46:04.720 --> 00:46:05.230
>> Yeah.
00:46:05.240 --> 00:46:08.230
>> They're this side This is only 1,600 sq
00:46:08.240 --> 00:46:11.310
ft. that you know, it would get slightly
00:46:11.320 --> 00:46:13.430
busy in here and it'd be log-jammed up
00:46:13.440 --> 00:46:15.430
all up front. It's like, "Man, why don't
00:46:15.440 --> 00:46:18.630
we just shut the bar down? The bar is
00:46:18.640 --> 00:46:20.070
The bar isn't anything like
00:46:20.080 --> 00:46:21.550
>> It It was It was a smart move.
00:46:21.560 --> 00:46:22.310
Definitely.
00:46:22.320 --> 00:46:23.630
>> they're the reason
00:46:23.640 --> 00:46:26.670
>> Dan and Angie from Mocabots are one of
00:46:26.680 --> 00:46:28.790
the biggest reasons why we wanted this
00:46:28.800 --> 00:46:29.990
space.
00:46:30.000 --> 00:46:31.830
Cuz they know what they're doing.
00:46:31.840 --> 00:46:33.710
They're great people.
00:46:33.720 --> 00:46:36.870
And we've found it so easy to work with
00:46:36.880 --> 00:46:37.870
them.
00:46:37.880 --> 00:46:39.950
And at that point they needed help and
00:46:39.960 --> 00:46:41.510
they needed direction of like, "Hey,
00:46:41.520 --> 00:46:44.150
we're really busy and we're running out
00:46:44.160 --> 00:46:46.670
of options of like how we can rectify
00:46:46.680 --> 00:46:47.110
this."
00:46:47.120 --> 00:46:49.230
>> The Mocabots would would burn itself out
00:46:49.240 --> 00:46:51.670
on on this side. Like it had already
00:46:51.680 --> 00:46:54.190
gotten to the point where like you can't
00:46:54.200 --> 00:46:55.390
>> You can't fit any more people in here.
00:46:55.400 --> 00:46:55.950
>> Right.
00:46:55.960 --> 00:46:58.710
>> And you need you need the bigger side.
00:46:58.720 --> 00:47:00.110
>> Right. And it works.
00:47:00.120 --> 00:47:01.750
>> And you you have live music in there
00:47:01.760 --> 00:47:04.150
now? You have all kinds of I mean,
00:47:04.160 --> 00:47:06.510
that's amazing. It's been great. People
00:47:06.520 --> 00:47:07.510
talking about it. It's
00:47:07.520 --> 00:47:08.830
>> The comedy artists we're bringing are
00:47:08.840 --> 00:47:10.310
like New York headliners.
00:47:10.320 --> 00:47:10.950
>> Yeah.
00:47:10.960 --> 00:47:13.270
>> Like we're not We're If we're going to
00:47:13.280 --> 00:47:14.350
do something, we're going to do it to
00:47:14.360 --> 00:47:14.990
the fullest.
00:47:15.000 --> 00:47:15.510
>> It's awesome.
00:47:15.520 --> 00:47:17.430
>> And that space is perfect for that
00:47:17.440 --> 00:47:20.710
because again, it's Okay, if I was
00:47:20.720 --> 00:47:23.630
coming into this coffee shop
00:47:23.640 --> 00:47:24.870
Okay, I remember them being on the
00:47:24.880 --> 00:47:27.150
corner. It was quaint. It was cute. Why
00:47:27.160 --> 00:47:29.750
did they move over here? Well, okay, so
00:47:29.760 --> 00:47:31.430
we got to make it nice for someone who's
00:47:31.440 --> 00:47:33.110
never been in there before. You have to
00:47:33.120 --> 00:47:35.510
make it welcoming. You have to also for
00:47:35.520 --> 00:47:37.990
the people who are used to this side
00:47:38.000 --> 00:47:39.630
You have to Oh, I miss all the big
00:47:39.640 --> 00:47:42.470
windows. Yeah, but we made it We We
00:47:42.480 --> 00:47:44.550
added some stuff to it, too. So we want
00:47:44.560 --> 00:47:46.550
to take the regular customers from this
00:47:46.560 --> 00:47:47.950
side and still make them feel
00:47:47.960 --> 00:47:49.270
comfortable over there as well.
00:47:49.280 --> 00:47:49.790
>> Right. Right.
00:47:49.800 --> 00:47:52.190
>> And so that's why you get that kind of
00:47:52.200 --> 00:47:55.950
Central Perk Friends kind of feel to it.
00:47:55.960 --> 00:47:57.990
You have the couches, but then you also
00:47:58.000 --> 00:47:59.550
have the booths and then you have the
00:47:59.560 --> 00:48:01.950
high top and then you have the bar. So
00:48:01.960 --> 00:48:04.550
again, it's all those different sections
00:48:04.560 --> 00:48:07.190
to make it but it's one cohesive room
00:48:07.200 --> 00:48:10.590
and it multi-use having local
00:48:10.600 --> 00:48:12.630
musicians in there, local comics, local
00:48:12.640 --> 00:48:14.830
artists. We have a chess night.
00:48:14.840 --> 00:48:17.110
Wednesday nights chess night if you are
00:48:17.120 --> 00:48:19.270
people out there
00:48:19.280 --> 00:48:20.270
>> It is actually going on.
00:48:20.280 --> 00:48:21.590
>> Oh, cool.
00:48:21.600 --> 00:48:21.950
>> Yeah.
00:48:21.960 --> 00:48:22.550
>> That's cool.
00:48:22.560 --> 00:48:26.350
>> It's a fun space. Again, hospitality.
00:48:26.360 --> 00:48:28.630
Anyone Anyone can go in there. It's
00:48:28.640 --> 00:48:30.590
>> Yeah, and it it gave us a chance with
00:48:30.600 --> 00:48:32.750
the shop being open 7:00 to 4:00.
00:48:32.760 --> 00:48:34.910
It gave us the chance to execute on a
00:48:34.920 --> 00:48:36.430
lot of the community building things
00:48:36.440 --> 00:48:37.870
that we want to.
00:48:37.880 --> 00:48:40.190
So any event that we could put on that
00:48:40.200 --> 00:48:41.590
would bring people in and bring people
00:48:41.600 --> 00:48:44.430
together, that's our spot for it now.
00:48:44.440 --> 00:48:46.910
>> We just did a speed friending.
00:48:46.920 --> 00:48:48.470
>> Yeah, we did a speed friending event.
00:48:48.480 --> 00:48:49.830
>> speed dating.
00:48:49.840 --> 00:48:50.630
>> We didn't do it.
00:48:50.640 --> 00:48:52.350
>> We Well, we just hosted it.
00:48:52.360 --> 00:48:53.110
>> We hosted it.
00:48:53.120 --> 00:48:55.110
>> But I had never heard of it.
00:48:55.120 --> 00:48:56.470
>> I never heard of that either.
00:48:56.480 --> 00:48:57.870
>> I don't know anything. But like speed
00:48:57.880 --> 00:49:00.030
dating from the '90s. But it's speed
00:49:00.040 --> 00:49:02.310
friending. Alternative speed friending.
00:49:02.320 --> 00:49:03.150
But everyone's welcome.
00:49:03.160 --> 00:49:04.150
>> So not dating.
00:49:04.160 --> 00:49:05.990
>> No, just meeting
00:49:06.000 --> 00:49:08.510
meeting new people.
00:49:08.520 --> 00:49:09.750
>> Maybe kind of like have you heard of
00:49:09.760 --> 00:49:11.630
Seacoast Stories, the dinner club?
00:49:11.640 --> 00:49:13.870
>> Uh yes, it's like
00:49:13.880 --> 00:49:15.790
it's
00:49:15.800 --> 00:49:16.550
>> You know
00:49:16.560 --> 00:49:17.350
>> parallel.
00:49:17.360 --> 00:49:19.590
>> You know, I had been talking to Dan
00:49:19.600 --> 00:49:21.310
about doing a dinner club. I'm like,
00:49:21.320 --> 00:49:23.150
"Dude, it's a West Coast thing.
00:49:23.160 --> 00:49:25.630
You take It's the best networking you
00:49:25.640 --> 00:49:27.150
can get. You take all these people, what
00:49:27.160 --> 00:49:29.590
they do, you match them with people you
00:49:29.600 --> 00:49:31.790
might not. So the way I wanted to do it
00:49:31.800 --> 00:49:33.710
with Stashbox, whatever, then I see
00:49:33.720 --> 00:49:35.670
Seacoast Stories put it up.
00:49:35.680 --> 00:49:37.710
And in my head
00:49:37.720 --> 00:49:39.790
I'm active on social media but not that
00:49:39.800 --> 00:49:42.150
active. I go up, we post our own [ __ ]
00:49:42.160 --> 00:49:43.710
and then I'm off.
00:49:43.720 --> 00:49:45.790
So I see this. I'm like, "Dude, this is
00:49:45.800 --> 00:49:47.710
[ __ ] awesome."
00:49:47.720 --> 00:49:49.270
And they knocked it out of the park.
00:49:49.280 --> 00:49:51.110
They did it on a level I didn't even
00:49:51.120 --> 00:49:52.470
think of. They took a bunch of
00:49:52.480 --> 00:49:54.510
restaurants together, did the after
00:49:54.520 --> 00:49:56.310
party. I hit him up and said, "Hey, if
00:49:56.320 --> 00:49:57.790
there's anything I can help you with,
00:49:57.800 --> 00:49:59.590
like please by all means." And he
00:49:59.600 --> 00:50:03.070
crushed it. Crushed it. And it's a cool
00:50:03.080 --> 00:50:05.190
>> yet to go to one. I I I want to go check
00:50:05.200 --> 00:50:06.150
it out.
00:50:06.160 --> 00:50:08.550
>> cuz it's like we all do restaurant stuff
00:50:08.560 --> 00:50:09.950
and we all know each other in the
00:50:09.960 --> 00:50:12.550
restaurant game. But this puts you in
00:50:12.560 --> 00:50:14.470
contact with maybe a banker.
00:50:14.480 --> 00:50:16.070
>> Exactly.
00:50:16.080 --> 00:50:17.710
>> So you know what? Oh, I met
00:50:17.720 --> 00:50:20.270
Yeah, I met someone that like So really
00:50:20.280 --> 00:50:21.990
helped and that's I think that's where
00:50:22.000 --> 00:50:23.830
networking is going.
00:50:23.840 --> 00:50:26.270
I mean I think the basic like, "Oh,
00:50:26.280 --> 00:50:27.750
we're going to We're going to meet up
00:50:27.760 --> 00:50:30.270
and hang out at a networking club." It's
00:50:30.280 --> 00:50:31.830
like, "Yeah, but like if you're part of
00:50:31.840 --> 00:50:33.190
that group already, you've already met
00:50:33.200 --> 00:50:33.950
everyone."
00:50:33.960 --> 00:50:35.910
>> True. That's true. They're always It's
00:50:35.920 --> 00:50:37.670
always the same people. You're right.
00:50:37.680 --> 00:50:39.350
>> You need a way to get new bodies in
00:50:39.360 --> 00:50:40.990
there, new people in there and that's
00:50:41.000 --> 00:50:41.710
the way to do it.
00:50:41.720 --> 00:50:42.270
>> Mhm.
00:50:42.280 --> 00:50:44.030
>> So that's why I always put it to camera
00:50:44.040 --> 00:50:46.470
because I was literally a week before I
00:50:46.480 --> 00:50:48.270
saw C K O series put it up.
00:50:48.280 --> 00:50:49.030
>> Oh, that's cool.
00:50:49.040 --> 00:50:50.630
>> "Dude, we got we have to do this. We
00:50:50.640 --> 00:50:52.910
need to do this." And I'm happy that he
00:50:52.920 --> 00:50:54.430
did it because he
00:50:54.440 --> 00:50:56.230
he did it
00:50:56.240 --> 00:50:57.190
It's not often I'll say
00:50:57.200 --> 00:50:58.910
>> know him at all? Do you know him Okay,

>> I saw Corrine with Stay Work Play on his
00:51:01.760 --> 00:51:04.150
podcast. I mean oh, this is cool like I
00:51:04.160 --> 00:51:05.790
like the setup with the podcast and then
00:51:05.800 --> 00:51:07.110
I saw they were doing the dinner club.
00:51:07.120 --> 00:51:07.630
>> Cool.
00:51:07.640 --> 00:51:09.510
>> But I'm happy he did it. He did it
00:51:09.520 --> 00:51:11.470
better than anybody I would do it.
00:51:11.480 --> 00:51:11.830
>> Cool.
00:51:11.840 --> 00:51:14.470
>> So it's I'm like very happy about it.
00:51:14.480 --> 00:51:15.070
>> Nice.
00:51:15.080 --> 00:51:17.110
>> was really weird timing.
00:51:17.120 --> 00:51:19.070
Really weird timing.
00:51:19.080 --> 00:51:21.150
>> All right, Nick. I need to ask you. You
00:51:21.160 --> 00:51:22.870

00:51:37.440 --> 00:51:39.430
>> Just a bunch of guys having dinner,
00:51:39.440 --> 00:51:41.110

I think it's great. I mean, it's
00:51:49.480 --> 00:51:49.870
awesome.
00:51:49.880 --> 00:51:50.670

00:52:06.360 --> 00:52:08.390
And uh
00:52:08.400 --> 00:52:10.510
we went in, no one we didn't tell each
00:52:10.520 --> 00:52:12.030
other what we ordered. We all just went
00:52:12.040 --> 00:52:14.830
up and ordered food. We ended up with
00:52:14.840 --> 00:52:17.430
four extra tables, and we ended up
00:52:17.440 --> 00:52:19.390
ordering the whole menu.
00:52:19.400 --> 00:52:20.190
Uh [laughter]
00:52:20.200 --> 00:52:21.310
>> It's the only way to do it when you're
00:52:21.320 --> 00:52:21.670
going out.
00:52:21.680 --> 00:52:24.630
>> But it was just like cuz I like I have
00:52:24.640 --> 00:52:26.350

our own groups of friends.
00:52:30.320 --> 00:52:32.310
But none of them understand. No one
00:52:32.320 --> 00:52:33.830
wants to hear us all [ __ ] about
00:52:33.840 --> 00:52:35.830
restaurants. So, you all get together
00:52:35.840 --> 00:52:37.830
and [ __ ] about restaurants. Yeah. Yeah.
00:52:37.840 --> 00:52:39.750
In someone else's restaurant. In someone
00:52:39.760 --> 00:52:42.870
else's restaurant. And like we throw
00:52:42.880 --> 00:52:44.910
like we throw ideas out here and there.
00:52:44.920 --> 00:52:46.350
We come up with some new concepts and
00:52:46.360 --> 00:52:47.910
stuff. Are we going to execute on them?
00:52:47.920 --> 00:52:49.571
Probably not.
00:52:49.581 --> 00:52:50.030
>> [laughter]
00:52:50.040 --> 00:52:51.710

00:52:55.240 --> 00:52:57.110
>> That particular
00:52:57.120 --> 00:53:00.710
dinner date also took 6 months to That
00:53:00.720 --> 00:53:02.670
was rescheduled.
00:53:02.680 --> 00:53:05.870
That was scheduled like four times.
00:53:05.880 --> 00:53:07.950
>> We're all in this kind of business, so
00:53:07.960 --> 00:53:08.470
you know.
00:53:08.480 --> 00:53:10.750

during the bonfire
00:53:13.960 --> 00:53:15.710
at Torch.
00:53:15.720 --> 00:53:16.910
So, we were all in there. We're like,
00:53:16.920 --> 00:53:17.870
"Dude, we should all get dinner
00:53:17.880 --> 00:53:18.110
sometime."
00:53:18.120 --> 00:53:20.150
>> Yeah. I loved it. When I saw that
00:53:20.160 --> 00:53:22.150
picture, I was like, "Oh my gosh, I love
00:53:22.160 --> 00:53:22.350
it."
00:53:22.360 --> 00:53:23.590
>> Yeah, I finally just made a group chat.
00:53:23.600 --> 00:53:24.910
I'm like, "We're getting together."
00:53:24.920 --> 00:53:25.910
>> Love it. Love it.
00:53:25.920 --> 00:53:28.150
>> Group text is way funnier than the
00:53:28.160 --> 00:53:30.350
>> I can imagine. Actually, I can't
00:53:30.360 --> 00:53:30.870
imagine.
00:53:30.880 --> 00:53:33.790
>> I will say this, we are
00:53:33.800 --> 00:53:36.990
Bobby is out of his mind in a good way.
00:53:37.000 --> 00:53:37.710
>> Yeah.

00:53:42.800 --> 00:53:44.270
like blessed to be part of.
00:53:44.280 --> 00:53:44.750
>> Yeah.

>> Yeah, there's a lot of cool stuff coming
00:53:47.320 --> 00:53:49.910
out. So it's nice to have
00:53:49.920 --> 00:53:51.990
like we I've had plenty of mentors in my
00:53:52.000 --> 00:53:53.550
life. Dan's had plenty of mentors in his
00:53:53.560 --> 00:53:55.750
life. I have people that I mentor at
00:53:55.760 --> 00:53:57.390
this point. Dan has people he mentors at
00:53:57.400 --> 00:53:59.670
this point. We all do but it's cool to
00:53:59.680 --> 00:54:01.070

00:54:08.000 --> 00:54:09.230
and he got to and I got to fly out to
00:54:09.240 --> 00:54:09.710
Vegas.
00:54:09.720 --> 00:54:11.150
>> I know he's flying everywhere all the
00:54:11.160 --> 00:54:13.310
time. It's like crazy. Good for him.
00:54:13.320 --> 00:54:15.190
It's awesome. All right, before we move
00:54:15.200 --> 00:54:16.350
to the lightning round, is there
00:54:16.360 --> 00:54:18.710
anything that I didn't talk about
00:54:18.720 --> 00:54:19.110
>> lightning
00:54:19.120 --> 00:54:20.430
>> without
00:54:20.440 --> 00:54:21.910
that that you want people to know that
00:54:21.920 --> 00:54:24.270
maybe we we missed or or that you're
00:54:24.280 --> 00:54:25.950
thinking we got to say this or
00:54:25.960 --> 00:54:30.070
>> I just uh I hope everyone who is even

busting down the door and we thank you.
00:54:35.720 --> 00:54:38.310
Uh there's going to be people that are
00:54:38.320 --> 00:54:41.590
curious and uh you know
00:54:41.600 --> 00:54:43.350

00:54:43.360 --> 00:54:45.150
the fence, I'm pushing you over the

of house, back of house, the people that
00:54:56.920 --> 00:54:59.790
you don't probably won't ever see that
00:54:59.800 --> 00:55:02.310
everyone has put a real lot of effort
00:55:02.320 --> 00:55:05.390
into this uh and we wouldn't do
00:55:05.400 --> 00:55:10.390
something if we weren't 100,000%
00:55:10.400 --> 00:55:11.950
uh and [clears throat] sure that it was
00:55:11.960 --> 00:55:13.670
going to be awesome. So
00:55:13.680 --> 00:55:14.550
come check it out.
00:55:14.560 --> 00:55:16.510
>> We're right here. You you can't miss us.
00:55:16.520 --> 00:55:18.670
We're on the corner of Elm Street and
00:55:18.680 --> 00:55:19.670
Elm Street.
00:55:19.680 --> 00:55:20.230
>> right.
00:55:20.240 --> 00:55:22.590
>> We're across from City Hall. So once
00:55:22.600 --> 00:55:24.830
you're done filing your complaints, come
00:55:24.840 --> 00:55:25.463
over here
00:55:25.473 --> 00:55:25.950
>> [laughter]
00:55:25.960 --> 00:55:27.870
>> and we'll not get you drunk.
00:55:27.880 --> 00:55:28.910
>> Do you know what your hours are going to
00:55:28.920 --> 00:55:29.950
be at?
00:55:29.960 --> 00:55:32.190
>> Starting hours are going to be Wednesday
00:55:32.200 --> 00:55:36.230
through Saturday. 5:00 to 10:00.
00:55:36.240 --> 00:55:37.670
Wednesday and Thursday and 5:00 to 11:00
00:55:37.680 --> 00:55:40.430
Saturday. And then
00:55:40.440 --> 00:55:41.750
we're going to see
00:55:41.760 --> 00:55:42.510
>> See what happens.
00:55:42.520 --> 00:55:44.550
>> It's It's always better to start off
00:55:44.560 --> 00:55:45.870
>> slow and then
00:55:45.880 --> 00:55:46.830
>> something and then
00:55:46.840 --> 00:55:47.390
>> Right. That makes sense.
00:55:47.400 --> 00:55:49.190
>> as opposed to be like, "We're going 7
00:55:49.200 --> 00:55:51.870
days a week, 11:00 in the morning till
00:55:51.880 --> 00:55:53.590
11:00 at night." And then And then
00:55:53.600 --> 00:55:56.590
taking that away from people who are
00:55:56.600 --> 00:55:58.350
like, "What happened to Sunday nights?"
00:55:58.360 --> 00:55:58.590
>> Right.
00:55:58.600 --> 00:56:00.670
>> Like, "Well, no one wants to work on
00:56:00.680 --> 00:56:01.430
Sunday."
00:56:01.440 --> 00:56:03.550
>> Yeah, consistency is key.
00:56:03.560 --> 00:56:05.270
That's what I love about Staff. It's
00:56:05.280 --> 00:56:06.670
open on Sunday.
00:56:06.680 --> 00:56:07.310
>> Which is
00:56:07.320 --> 00:56:08.510
>> so mad at me about that.
00:56:08.520 --> 00:56:09.310
>> Now
00:56:09.320 --> 00:56:11.190
Yeah, but I'm sure you're busy.
00:56:11.200 --> 00:56:11.710
>> Sundays
00:56:11.720 --> 00:56:13.390
>> And I'm sure it's worth it and it and it
00:56:13.400 --> 00:56:14.590
works.
00:56:14.600 --> 00:56:16.510
>> And it's like a Sunday crowd like we get
00:56:16.520 --> 00:56:17.863
a lot of
00:56:17.873 --> 00:56:17.880
>> [clears throat]
00:56:17.880 --> 00:56:19.110
>> regulars who
00:56:19.120 --> 00:56:19.710
go
00:56:19.720 --> 00:56:20.750
>> down there but not Sundays.
00:56:20.760 --> 00:56:22.750
>> And I'm going to just say one thing cuz
00:56:22.760 --> 00:56:26.030
I'm old. Um, when we go out, I think
00:56:26.040 --> 00:56:27.790
that the people that when you open at
00:56:27.800 --> 00:56:30.430
5:00, you're missing a whole group of
00:56:30.440 --> 00:56:32.110
people. It should be 4:00.
00:56:32.120 --> 00:56:33.590
>> We tried that and then no
00:56:33.600 --> 00:56:35.390
>> But you didn't try it for long enough.
00:56:35.400 --> 00:56:36.390
I'm telling you.
00:56:36.400 --> 00:56:38.550
>> couldn't afford it.
00:56:38.560 --> 00:56:40.270
Are you saying if I had to ride anymore
00:56:40.280 --> 00:56:41.550
>> 4:00 instead of 5:00.
00:56:41.560 --> 00:56:42.510
>> 4:00.

[ __ ] you want to call it, but I grab
01:05:38.960 --> 01:05:41.390
[ __ ] and I do it and then I put stuff
01:05:41.400 --> 01:05:42.950
down and then I grab something else and

01:05:45.800 --> 01:05:46.590
>> Every day.

01:05:59.360 --> 01:05:59.870
really fun.
01:05:59.880 --> 01:06:00.550
>> Hell yeah.
01:06:00.560 --> 01:06:01.150
>> Yeah.
01:06:01.160 --> 01:06:03.070
>> Thanks for hanging out.
01:06:03.080 --> 01:06:05.030
>> Before we go, just one more thing. I'd
01:06:05.040 --> 01:06:07.310
like for you guys to share like some
01:06:07.320 --> 01:06:09.030
kind of hospitality story. Might be
01:06:09.040 --> 01:06:10.830
something that that
01:06:10.840 --> 01:06:14.510
you gave or you listened or you know,
01:06:14.520 --> 01:06:15.670
>> Hm.
01:06:15.680 --> 01:06:18.430
>> My favorite hospitality advice that I've
01:06:18.440 --> 01:06:20.510
gotten in my career
01:06:20.520 --> 01:06:23.830
is the customer isn't always right.
01:06:23.840 --> 01:06:24.350
>> Okay.
01:06:24.360 --> 01:06:26.670
>> That's my That was the best piece I've
01:06:26.680 --> 01:06:27.510
ever gotten.
01:06:27.520 --> 01:06:28.710
>> I didn't know you were going to say
01:06:28.720 --> 01:06:31.990
that, but it seems right coming from the
01:06:32.000 --> 01:06:34.870
bulldog.
01:06:34.880 --> 01:06:36.830
>> It's situationally.
01:06:36.840 --> 01:06:37.630
Um
01:06:37.640 --> 01:06:39.270
I mean, I've had scenarios where
01:06:39.280 --> 01:06:40.950
>> I mean, I I I understand what you're
01:06:40.960 --> 01:06:42.550
saying. Totally. Of course.
01:06:42.560 --> 01:06:45.550
>> Obviously hospitality Once again,
01:06:45.560 --> 01:06:48.430
go above and beyond and do what you have
01:06:48.440 --> 01:06:49.590
to do.
01:06:49.600 --> 01:06:52.470
I am a firm believer that there is a a
01:06:52.480 --> 01:06:56.110
point of no return where you can't make
01:06:56.120 --> 01:06:57.470
everyone happy.
01:06:57.480 --> 01:06:59.910
And it's completely okay not to not to
01:06:59.920 --> 01:07:01.910
be like, "Hey, [ __ ] you. Get out."
01:07:01.920 --> 01:07:04.470
but to to understand that the time that
01:07:04.480 --> 01:07:06.310
you're putting in is wasted at that
01:07:06.320 --> 01:07:09.790
point and you proceed on a very minimal
01:07:09.800 --> 01:07:11.070
level. So,
01:07:11.080 --> 01:07:13.110
>> You don't want to dumb down what you're
01:07:13.120 --> 01:07:15.110
doing for everyone else who likes it
01:07:15.120 --> 01:07:17.790
just cuz one person who will never be
01:07:17.800 --> 01:07:19.950
satisfied by anything ever.
01:07:19.960 --> 01:07:20.950
>> Yeah. If
01:07:20.960 --> 01:07:22.470
If someone sends a drink back, then
01:07:22.480 --> 01:07:23.750
sends their food back, then sends
01:07:23.760 --> 01:07:25.950
another drink back, and goes, and you
01:07:25.960 --> 01:07:27.630
continuously replace the drink, replace
01:07:27.640 --> 01:07:29.350
the food, replace the drink, try and try
01:07:29.360 --> 01:07:30.190
and try and try.
01:07:30.200 --> 01:07:31.190
>> You know, there's a way to fix that,
01:07:31.200 --> 01:07:34.190
man. You could just [ __ ] be better.
01:07:34.200 --> 01:07:36.230
>> Thanks, Stan.
01:07:36.240 --> 01:07:37.950
No, I just I I think there's there's
01:07:37.960 --> 01:07:40.790
scenarios that pop up that
01:07:40.800 --> 01:07:42.350
it's okay to understand that like, you
01:07:42.360 --> 01:07:44.550
know what? I have done everything I
01:07:44.560 --> 01:07:46.390
possibly can to make this person's
01:07:46.400 --> 01:07:48.110
experience the best.
01:07:48.120 --> 01:07:49.950
I don't think I can
01:07:49.960 --> 01:07:51.670
I don't think I can anything I do is
01:07:51.680 --> 01:07:53.750
going to change their mind. So,
01:07:53.760 --> 01:07:54.990
I'm not going to give you bad service.
01:07:55.000 --> 01:07:57.350
I'm just going to give you very blunt,
01:07:57.360 --> 01:07:58.550
"Hi, is there anything else I can get
01:07:58.560 --> 01:07:59.550
for you?"
01:07:59.560 --> 01:08:00.910
Okay, no. Oh, would you like another
01:08:00.920 --> 01:08:03.670
drink? Okay. It's not that over
01:08:03.680 --> 01:08:06.630
eccentric like, "Hey, so the other day I
01:08:06.640 --> 01:08:08.070
was over at like, it's not the
01:08:08.080 --> 01:08:10.310
storytelling the conversation." It just
01:08:10.320 --> 01:08:13.150
turns into a very corporate
01:08:13.160 --> 01:08:14.910
very corporate interaction at that
01:08:14.920 --> 01:08:15.030
point.
01:08:15.040 --> 01:08:16.430
>> Yeah.
01:08:16.440 --> 01:08:19.230
>> Do you have any story? Like any story?
01:08:19.240 --> 01:08:21.309
>> I have
01:08:21.319 --> 01:08:23.470
thousands of stories that I will not
01:08:23.480 --> 01:08:25.950
tell you right now. But, [laughter]
01:08:25.960 --> 01:08:26.710
I don't know if this
01:08:26.720 --> 01:08:28.070
>> that touched you or
01:08:28.080 --> 01:08:30.789
>> Well, okay. So, this I
01:08:30.799 --> 01:08:33.190
This is kind of like a
01:08:33.200 --> 01:08:34.950
a casserole.
01:08:34.960 --> 01:08:36.789
So, I kind of roll it all into one so
01:08:36.799 --> 01:08:40.990
that it's not a cop out answer. But,
01:08:41.000 --> 01:08:42.269
um
01:08:42.279 --> 01:08:43.309
just
01:08:43.319 --> 01:08:46.150
from doing this forever, all of the cool
01:08:46.160 --> 01:08:48.190
things that have happened
01:08:48.200 --> 01:08:51.110
uh over over time, over the last 25
01:08:51.120 --> 01:08:53.150
years of me doing this. Like,
01:08:53.160 --> 01:08:55.630
not any one particular story, but I love
01:08:55.640 --> 01:08:56.870
when
01:08:56.880 --> 01:08:57.829
uh

like a French chef, right? This
01:09:47.520 --> 01:09:50.390
five-year-old kid. He was trying, you

know, prawns with, you know, Thai chili
01:09:54.400 --> 01:09:56.710

01:10:00.560 --> 01:10:01.510
>> Um
01:10:01.520 --> 01:10:02.510
but
01:10:02.520 --> 01:10:07.150
um you know, fast forward like 12 years,
01:10:07.160 --> 01:10:09.150
the last week that Jeremy and I were
01:10:09.160 --> 01:10:10.670
working at The Birch,
01:10:10.680 --> 01:10:12.630
they came in. And I recognized them
01:10:12.640 --> 01:10:14.750
immediately, except for the son, who I
01:10:14.760 --> 01:10:17.070
did not recognize because he was like,
01:10:17.080 --> 01:10:17.950
>> Yeah.
01:10:17.960 --> 01:10:19.830
>> And I was like, "Holy shit." But like,
01:10:19.840 --> 01:10:21.670
that kind of thing. And they came in and
01:10:21.680 --> 01:10:23.710
they're like, "We just found out that
01:10:23.720 --> 01:10:25.710
you were working here and we wanted to
01:10:25.720 --> 01:10:27.390
come try it." And then they ordered like
01:10:27.400 --> 01:10:29.990
half the menu and they're and I said,
01:10:30.000 --> 01:10:31.310
>> "Well, we're opening another spot right
01:10:31.320 --> 01:10:31.590
here."
01:10:31.600 --> 01:10:32.950
>> And then they came in the first week we
01:10:32.960 --> 01:10:35.230
were open at Industry East and they were
01:10:35.240 --> 01:10:37.190
like, stuff like that. So, not one
01:10:37.200 --> 01:10:38.310
particular story, but
01:10:38.320 --> 01:10:38.830
>> Yeah.
01:10:39.280 --> 01:10:44.470
>> This we give everything to this this uh
01:10:44.480 --> 01:10:46.830
industry, but it gives it all back.
01:10:46.840 --> 01:10:47.270
>> All back.
01:10:47.280 --> 01:10:48.790
>> You know, you know, in a different way.
01:10:48.800 --> 01:10:50.710
So, that is the best part cuz a lot of
01:10:50.720 --> 01:10:51.910
[ __ ]
01:10:51.920 --> 01:10:54.070
and a lot of stories that I can talk
01:10:54.080 --> 01:10:56.590
about [laughter] off camera, but but
01:10:56.600 --> 01:10:58.990
like those that's that's the reason like
01:10:59.000 --> 01:11:00.590

01:11:12.800 --> 01:11:14.190
>> I love the best part about what you said
01:11:14.200 --> 01:11:15.590
is when the Cheerios are all over the
01:11:15.600 --> 01:11:16.630
floor and you don't care.
01:11:16.640 --> 01:11:17.710
