We were lucky to have Rachel Cope – the restauranteur behind Empire Slice House, Gorō Ramen and other popular concepts from 84 Hospitality Group – on a recent recording on The Lost Ogle Show presented by Fire Leaf!
Marisa and I talked with Rachel about the rise of Empire Slice House – from its origins to its pizza to the "secret" ingredients in its ambrosial pink sauce recipe – and how 84 Hospitality Group has adapted to a pandemic that's brought the entire restaurant industry to its knees.
We also discussed why they no longer use food delivery services like Postmates, what it's like to find out your business is being vandalized during a protest, and officiating beer pong tournaments at Cafe Nova.
Give it a listen!
The Lost Ogle Show is produced by Randy "Mile High" Mitchell and available for download wherever fine podcasts are bought and sold.
Stay with The Lost Ogle. We'll keep you advised.
