Restaurants and bars can only truly come to life when you inject great people into them. Once in place, then you need to have great products, and relationships that continue to help the business grow beyond just a pile of bricks and mortar. Landers Liquor Bar in Costa Mesa is not an establishment that is short on personality - but where does that personality come from? Its DNA has been infused with style from its owners from day one, but the people that make up the minute to minute are truly a special group.In this episode, I sit down with that group, and then some. Chef Jeramie Calcetas, Bar Manager Isle Anderson, and friend of Landers and SoCal Pernod Ricard rep, Hank Lee all join me for a massive episode. We talk about how relationships weave through the restaurant to make it what it is, what life at Landers is like, and Jameson. (Yes, there will be Jameson.)Additionally, at the time of this recording, Chef Calcetas is part of a national contest, so please consider supporting him in the link below.
