The group also discuss Alexandra's story of discovering Bludorn, Alexandra's experience opening Navy Blue, how things have gone in Navy Blue's first year, how the Navy Blue menu has evolved, yacht rock brunch, what they're excited about for the future, collaborating with other chefs, and which burger is better - the Bludorn Burger or the Navy Blue Burger?
