39: Matthew McGuire
On this week’s episode presented by Busey Bank, Josh sits down with Matthew McGuire – the landmark restauranteur behind two fabulous St. Louis dining destinations. Matt and Josh go way back. They discuss Matt’s journey from his first successful endeavor after college – King Louie – through his days with Gerard Craft’s restaurant group and Central Hall Food Table in the Central West End. Matt is a true hospitality professional with an incredible eye for detail and is really good at making spaces and food and service impeccably understated and delicious and comfortable.
Josh dives deep to understand the intentionality behind Matt’s approach to everything he does. How does he build a staff and a culture? What is he doing differently now then he did as a young restauranteur? It’s great to hear the secret sauce from someone who clearly knows how to create a successful organization..
