Levon Wallace – Spread Love Like Mustard

Perhaps no other industry has been hit harder in 2020 than hospitality. For chefs and restaurant industry staff, it’s been a year of pivoting and in many cases, rethinking the current models of food service. Chef Levon Wallace of Nashville, Tennessee took the pandemic as a welcome opportunity to experiment in his home kitchen. Before he knew it, the tasty treats he made for his kids turned into a new fast-casual concept that has found a lot of love (and plenty of mustard) in his city and beyond. 

In this episode, we’ll talk about how the industry has had to adapt through the pandemic, the growth of fast-casual, the future of gastronomy, and the lessons we can take from the disruptions of 2020.  You’ll hear why it’s important to source food locally, and how to cultivate symbiotic relationships between chef’s and growers.
