S10 E9: How Restaurants Hold Us Together with Stephanie March, longtime voice in the Twin Cities food community and editor at Mpls.St.Paul Magazine

Longtime Twin Cities food voice, Stephanie March, former food editor at Minneapolis St. Paul Magazine and founder of the nonprofit Salt Cure Fund, returns to the View in Your Mirror to explore the real meaning of hospitality and the vital role restaurants play in our lives. Stephanie shares how restaurants build community, provide comfort, and act as third places where families gather, business deals happen, and milestones are celebrated—while also being one of the country’s largest employers. The conversation weaves in the deep emotional ties people have to restaurants, the challenges the industry has faced since COVID, and why supporting local, independent hospitality businesses matters now more than ever. In honor of Women's History Month, we also celebrate the many women whose stories have shaped our podcast.
