Episode 7: Alex Palumbo & Rachel Bailey Palumbo, Hey Palu & Chancho

Amaro, agave, fernet, and shenanigans. Kevin and Carlos welcome Alex Palumbo and Rachel Bailey Palumbo, the dynamic duo behind two of our favorite Edinburgh watering holes - Hey Palu and Chancho - to the show and, as you’ll hear, a great time was had. Alex and Rachel give us a behind-the-scenes look at what it takes to open up a bar (during a pandemic no less) and the grit that's required to adapt and to grow a hospitality business against many a headwind. The only way this episode could have been more fun to record would've been to actually been drinking martinis and margaritas while recording it!   Follow Eating and Waiting to Eat on Instagram here. Connect with this episode’s guest(s) on Instagram:Hey PaluChanchoNext Door by Hey PaluAlex PalumboRachel Bailey PalumboGeneral links from the episode:Hey Palu’s WebsiteChancho’s WebsiteNext Door by Hey Palu’s WebsiteFriday Finally Newsletter on SubstackHey Palu’s Neo Soul Spotify Playlist Fernet on WikipediaAmaro on WikipediaAgave on WikipediaRestaurants and bars mentioned in the episode:Razzo Pizza NapoletanaGleneaglesBramble BarPanda & SonsThe Last WordArdfern The PalmerstonChorritoZero Zero WinesHawksmoor
