This week we're joined by JT (Jason Timothy) for a conversation about love for food, the importance of the dinner table, and cultivating creativity in the kitchen. JT is co-owner and head chef at Troop - an elevated street casual restaurant that has its roots in street food from around the world.

Topics include food as a shared experience, the old and new school kitchen environment, learning through failure, and empowering your staff to take risks.

Show Notes

The dinner table as a symbol of family and bonding
Learning to let people help you
The most important culinary lesson: don't cut your fingers off
Cultivating creativity in the kitchen
Babka: the friendlier swear word
You're going to fail, so you might as well do it and learn from it
Ups and downs of the Yelp mentality
Being community oriented
And for real though, go get brunch there and order The Pinnacle. It's really damn good.
