Have you ever wondered what it takes to run a successful restaurant? Let us take you on a gastronomic journey with our special guest Penny Chutima, co-owner of the renowned Lotus of Siam restaurant and managing partner of Bua Food Group. We traverse the past and present of Lotus of Siam, a dining institution opened by Penny's parents 24 years ago on the east side of Las Vegas. Hear how Penny transitioned from initial reluctance to full-fledged commitment to the family business.
As we pull back the curtain on Lotus of SIam, you'll discover the unique qualities that set this extraordinary Thai restaurant apart. Penny and Chris share their mission to challenge stereotypes about Thai food and educate their clientele, a commitment that extends to their dedicated staff, some of whom might struggle with English but excel in hospitality. Together, they are proud to uphold a family legacy and preserve the authenticity of their brand.
The conversation doesn't end there. We further immerse ourselves in the Las Vegas restaurant scene, exploring the process of building connections, designing and staffing restaurants, and pioneering innovative concepts. We even dive into the nitty-gritty of responsible sourcing and the impact of COVID-19 on the industry. Sprinkling in some wisdom is Chef Lamar Moore, who shares his own experiences and offers invaluable advice for budding restaurateurs. Be ready to take notes as we navigate the intricacies of the restaurant industry and the unyielding dedication required to sustain successful brands. So, are you hungry for some wisdom?
