Welcome to Niver Niver Land: A podcast that addresses massive change in the restaurant industry (sometimes).
The show is hosted by award-winning restaurateur Tim Niver – a local legend of Minnesotas' Twin Cities – known for his involvement with fabled spots like Aquavit, Town Talk Diner, and Strip Club Meat & Fish. These days, he runs Saint Dinette and Mucci's Italian in St. Paul and Minneapolis.
Anyways, back to the whole "massive change in the hospitality industry" thing.
We see a major problem here: no one is having real conversations about what's going on. Many of those who work in the industry are still trying to wrap their heads around what’s happening – and so is Tim.
Today, he’s ready to talk about these things – through his trademark wit and foolishness – so that we can better appreciate and preserve the cultural importance of restaurants.
