Running (and Growing) a Restaurant in the Worst Year Ever: Chef Brandon Linthicum

Brandon Linthicum is a professional chef and part of the restaurant group that owns several venues in Southwest Virginia. With a background as a teacher, coach, and ESPN writer, his take on the service industry is not to be missed. Join us as we talk about how they’ve navigated the dangers of 2020, how they’ve begun growing their own greens for the entire restaurant group, the pitfalls of packaging cocktails to go, and the importance of writing stuff down.
