Short's Cast

It wasn't easy, but the Short's pub expansion in Bellaire has been completed. Bridgett and Woj sit down with CEO Joe Short, Project Manager Chris Clore, and Head Chef Luke Meredith to talk all the nitty gritty details of what it took to pull of this expansion while the pub stayed open for business.  There were only two days where the kitchen was closed for business for the staff to move in and organize the new space. Traverse City catering company The Daily Blend, served customers paella over those two days and kept the people happy.  Luke Meredith talks about the ebb and flow of the new kitchen and how the staff has been able to increase productivity and efficiency. Chris Clore gives us an in depth description on what it was like to renovate the old pharmacy and turn it into the avacado room. Finally, Joe Short talks about the decisions the executive team faced and the negotiations that had to be made to purchase the old pharmacy.  Music for this episode was kindly provided by the band Gifts or Creatures who
