Are you curious about how one man navigated the tumultuous tides of the restaurant industry, not only surviving but thriving over three brilliant decades? That man is none other than Peter Tsebelis, a seasoned veteran and a true titan of Toronto's restaurant scene. We travel through time with Peter, retracing his steps from his initial venture at Myth on the Danport, progressing to Versailles, Bauhaus, and the Pickerton Building. We also revisit the epic party our co-host Scott catered for - an unforgettable culinary fusion of Nigerian and Jamaican cuisine for a crowd of 120 guests!

In our lively conversation with Peter, we uncover the secret ingredients to his success story. It's more than just about serving up great food. It's about hard work, treating the business with the seriousness it deserves, and striking the right balance between passion and profitability. It's about understanding your guests, anticipating their needs, and delivering hospitality that's both an art and a science. It's about pushing boundaries, pioneering new trends, and knowing your target audience well.

But it's not all sunshine and rainbows. We also delve into the challenges Peter faced, particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic. Opening a new restaurant, Boca Bar, amidst such an upheaval was no small feat. We examine how this affected communities, the role of technology in the industry, and how restaurants can add value to neighborhoods. Join us for an insightful episode that explores the gritty reality and the glorious rewards of the restaurant business through the eyes of a seasoned veteran. So, are your taste buds tingling yet? Prepare yourself for a feast of wisdom and inspiration. [END SHOW NOTES]
