In this episode, I interview Karuna long. Long is the owner of Oliver's Twist, a hip cocktail bar located in Seattle's Phinney Ridge neighborhood. He took over in 2017 after working there or 4 years serving the neighborhood signature cocktails and earned the title of "Seattle's Best Bartender" in 2018. We talked about his humble beginnings coming from Long Beach to moving to Seattle and his love for music. What makes Oliver's Twist extra special is that he and his family decided to add khmer food to their menu and and instantly became a big hit in the neighborhood. The idea came from their family pop ups and it help them get through the pandemic. Also the support from the community has been tremendous as they help reach their gofundme goal to keep Oliver's Twist open during the peak of the pandemic. Karuna hopes to inspire others to keep khmer cuisine alive and push the culture forward, while supporting other small businesses. He believes the more the merrier, when it comes to Khmer food businesses and we are stronger together.
