51: KRISHNA AUNTY SERVES UP SOUTH INDIAN HOMESTYLE MEALS
Krishna Aunty is the brainchild of Joseph Moroney. It's an online meal service. Enjoy homestyle Indian food, which is a much loved style of food in India, coveted more than restaurant food. Joseph;s quiet and appealing story, is wrapped with his love and attention to India's ginger, garlic and not-too-spicy flavors! Joseph's immersion in to Indian food starts as a Irishman, lawyer, curious about his wifes heritage and cuisine. His wife and family have been in the US for years. Early on her family could rarely find Indian cuisine, but the much loved cuisine from their region, Andra Pradesh, is far harder to find in the US, let alone Ohio. The menu is infused with a little heat, and definitively flavorful dishes, that range from vegan to vegetarian to meat dishes.
Our episode digs into the curious tale of this wonderfully creative Irishman in Baltimore, and explore why he chose such an unusual departure from his legal path.
If you are in Baltimore, you'll pick up your meal at Bmore Kitchen, details on their website. If you are out of town, we hope you will visit Baltimore soon, get dinner to go from Krishna Aunty! We see great potential for the concept and this smart, creative business plan Joseph Moroney created. Want to know more? His instagram game is fun and engaging. Enjoy your meal.

And how to teach the team to share the basic vegan diet concepts and scripts that help them navigate their guest? Your team should speak knowledgeably about vegan food, as well as Liora's spin on vegan and raw in Liora.
Our audience is no doubt well-prepared for Dave Seel who stepped on his soapbox and shared some feelings about reviews setting expectation... and meeting expectation! Perfect points, and appropriate for our times. Not to mention how restaurants are balancing service and being short-handed.
