How did Jamie Brown and Jeff Tonidandel transform 11 tables into a fast-growing 6-restaurant food empire in Charlotte, North Carolina?
Eleven Tables: A Wild Ride through Food, Failure, and Figuring It Out tells the story of a couple’s risky dive into the restaurant world and how they turned their passion into a multi-million-dollar enterprise. Ride along as they learn and succeed; fail, fall, and get up; try out concepts and convert historic locations; and bring their team along with them. With fascinating lessons from business, the food industry, and life—told through the eyes of a female non-chef with no previous restaurant experience—this book will make readers (very!) hungry, inspired, and ready to go after their dreams.
