Hey Food Fans! In this episode, we dive into the heart of family-owned restaurant operations, revealing the secrets behind hand-crafted, from-scratch, dishes and staying community and customer driven.

Join Chef Cal as he chats with Kathy and Charlew Byerly from Charlew's Taphouse about the intricacies of running a family-owned restaurant and how they maintain quality and customer satisfaction amidst economic challenges.

• The evolution of Charlew's, from a Mary's Pizza Shack family franchise operation, to their current success as an independent third-generation owned Italian restaurant.
• How Grandma Mary started out in the restaurant business at 48 years old back in the 60's, creating a legacy that inspires current operations
• Being family-owned and independent allows for adaptability and personalized customer experiences, unlike chain restaurants
• Navigating economic challenges and maintaining menu prices
• The importance of hands-on experience and unique recipes for aspiring restaurateurs
