  • Great hospitality industry perspective.

    Tim provides great industry perspective and has great rapport with his guests. The conversations are authentic, non-branded and really dive deep into the restaurant, industry, the challenges that restaurant owners operators and staff face. I really enjoy listening to the podcast while cooking dinner. It’s also great insight on what’s happening with the Twin Cities’s restaurant scene.

  • Interesting look at Twin Cities restaurant industry

    Like the show. Lots of interesting guests. Wish the host would talk a little less and let his guests talk a little more. Not easy to do when you’re as passionate as Tim, but it would improve the podcast.
