Today’s episode features the official NEW owners of a Charleston staple: Basic Kitchen. Charlie Layton and Eva Suarez sit down with me (in matching pink suits no less) to discuss what is on the horizon as BK enters its 9th year. Their tagline is “Cleaner Fuel, Longer Adventures’ and we get into what that means to them. We also discuss how to nurture a team, what keeps them excited about hospitality and SECRET PROJECT no. 3.
