Chaz Lindsay: From Rock Star to Restaurant Empire in Jackson

In this episode of Taste of Place, Northshore's Trey Malone sits down with Chaz Lindsay, owner of Pulito Osteria and Rowan's in Jackson's Belhaven Town Center, to talk about the journey from rock star to restaurateur. From touring with the band The Weeks to running what has become the heart of Jackson's dining scene—a high-end Italian restaurant that makes all its own pasta and sources locally, paired with a dive bar serving cast iron hamburgers and jello shots—it's a conversation about taking the leap, building trust in your hometown, and the power of going all in on both ends of the spectrum. You'll hear about fried bologna sandwiches, capacity crowds, and why understanding your numbers might just be the most rock and roll thing you can do. Because sometimes you build community one handmade rigatoni at a time—and sometimes over a can of beer and old school country music.
