Jon and Vinny on The Key To A Pivot, Their New Location, and Putting Community First

Today we're joined by the duo behind everyone’s favorite spicy fusilli, Jon Shook and Vinny Dotolo. They’re the masterminds behind the restaurants on every LA hit-list, from Son of a Gun to Animal and of course, Jon & Vinny’s. In this episode, we get to hear about their early cooking days - from dorming in college together to sleeping in their first restaurant, to how they’ve created a food empire that’s all about community. They drop gems on the key to opening your first restaurant, how to successfully pivot, and fill us in on some of their latest expansions including their next Jon and Vinny’s location.    Shop Jon & Vinny’s Goods here  https://goods.jonandvinnys.com.   Love the show?
