In this podcast, Brenda
and Libby pick up right where they left off in
Part 1, with the story of their meeting. It involves Delessio
Market and Martuni's, two San Francisco spots we love.
The bulk of this episode is the
story of opening a restaurant in San Francisco that was an
almost-immediate smashing success. Brenda's French Soul Food (2007)
begat Brenda's Meat and Three (2014) begat Brenda's Oakland
(2019).
The couple discuss how they have
pivoted all three of their restaurants during COVID-19. And we end
the podcast with a mental-health check-up.
(As a sign of how quickly things
took a downturn COVID-wise, there's talk in this episode of the
then-recent shutting down of all indoor dining in The City, but
outdoor was still allowed. Of course, at the time of publication,
we're back to take-out and delivery only.)
