The More We Know by Meer

Welcome back to the more we know! Because the more we know, the more we grow!
Today your mentor is Gino Bartucci. Gino is the founder and Chef of the HOTTEST new restaurant in West Loop (Chicago), Gino and Martys (https://ginoandmartys.com/).
Gino and Martys- A narrative-driven Chicago Italian Restaurant that tells a local prohibition-era story with a modern luxury twist. Imagine you are the founder and have to build a restaurant in a crowded marketplace from scratch... how would you do it? How much would it cost? How would you scale? Gino covers ALL that today.
We explore Ginos career path in hospitality, the legendary restaurant him and his family have "BarTucci" and the inside scoop on building Gino and Martys from A-Z.
Gino has mastered the art of "unreasonable hospitality" and from being completely booked at his restaurant, to bringing in the biggest celebrities like Kevin Hart to his restaurant, he walks us through an incredible masterclass on building a hospitality/family first culture.
The restaurant industry is one of the toughest to be in, but with a legendary family legacy in the space, and being in the competitive West Loop fighting for market share- Gino shares his tips for success.
Make sure to go show love and book a table at the restaurant (when available)!!
