What's it like to be one of the NYTimes' 50 Best Restaurants in the USA? Oh, AND a James Beard Best New Restaurant? Ian Boden joins The Restaurant Incubator to answer those questions.
The chef and owner of The Shack and Maude and The Bear, Ian has made a home for the past twenty years in Staunton, VA. He tells us about the difficulties of opening an inn, the bare-knuckle financing of The Shack, and how he expects his team to hold their own standards independent of what guests think.
Still thinking about opening your own restaurant? I've built budgets and business plans for you already--click here to find them.
Stay humble. Stay hungry!
