Stephanie March: What We Talk About When We Talk About Restaurants

Stephanie March is the Senior Food Editor for MSP Magazine, which is the biggest culture magazine in the state of Minnesota. As you would probably imagine, she knows her stuff. Tim and Steph go way back and, during today's conversation, they use their storied careers as a backdrop to talk about criticism, feedback, and common narratives in the restaurant industry.

Welcome to Niver Niver Land: A podcast that addresses massive change in the restaurant industry (sometimes).

The show is hosted by award-winning restaurateur Tim Niver – a local legend of Minnesotas' Twin Cities – known for his involvement with fabled spots like Aquavit, Town Talk Diner, and Strip Club Meat & Fish. These days, he runs Saint Dinette and Mucci's Italian in St. Paul and Minneapolis.

Anyways, back to the whole "massive change in the hospitality industry" thing.

We see a major problem here: no one is having realistic conversations about what's going on. Many of those who work in the industry are still trying to wrap their heads around what’s happening – and so is Tim.

Today, he’s ready to talk about these things – through his trademark wit and foolishness – so that we can better appreciate and preserve the cultural importance of restaurants.
