Antonio Owen, the chef-owner of Sweet P’s in Richmond, Virginia, recently shared his culinary journey and life philosophies on the “Eat It, Virginia” podcast with Scott Wise and Robey Martin.
The veteran’s guiding philosophies in the kitchen is that no job is beneath him.
"If you think you’re too good to take out the trash, your whole mindset is wrong," he said.
This hands-on mentality has been crucial in establishing a strong, supportive team.
The restaurant also embraces fun, with the introduction of “Whitney Wednesdays,” a weekly event celebrating Whitney Houston’s music and food inspired by her favorite dishes.
In this episode, Robey also discusses an extensive list of Richmond-area Christmas bars that she helped compile for Style Weekly.
