Hey Listen Local Fam!We have a very big, highly entertaining show... So lets dive right into it!
Grand View Lodge has a NEW General Manager and Executive Chef, and the Listen Local crew had to head out there to the NOW OPEN Tanque Verde Cantina to hear all about it!
First... Jacob, Colton and Isaiah catch up with the Dawn Southworth, who took over as General Manager of Grand View. Dawn tells us about everything from where she's from to what it was like being apart of a team that opened up a Ritz Carlton in the Middle East to what the main selling point of GVL was. Plus... of course we had to ask her about her thoughts on Meat Raffles, Pull Tabs, and other great Minnesota traditions.
After Dawn heads out, we chat with the new Executive Chef Justin Grecco who won the Listen Local crew over right from the get-go by bringing over new food menu items and tequila shots. Lot's of GVL Restaurant Menu upgrades and Justin tells us about all of those, plus the NEW NEW Preserve Smokehouse. On that note, we do ask him if there is any added pressure in opening this Smokehouse following the departure of celebrity Chef Justin Sutherland's Northern Soul out there at The Preserve. All of that and much more with Chef Justin Grecco!
Thanks so much to both Dawn and Justin, and so excited to have you in the BLA!

Helloooo Listen Local Fam!Hope you've all had a great week!
On today's episode we catch up with the owners of the BLA's first Nautical Bowls location, Miryah and Michael Bosio. Miryah - who is a Pequot Lakes alum - talks about what all she's been up to since graduating from PLHS. One of those major points in life was meeting her husband Michael during their first week of college at the University of Minnesota and eventually moving to Portland, Oregon. Both of them discuss their time out West, their love of the outdoors, and what the main factor was in moving back to the midwest and opening up a Nautical Bowls location. It's always so fun to hear BLA-native's life stories and what led them "home," and this one was no different! Thanks so much to Michael and Miryah for taking time to join the show.
After Miryah and Michael sign off, the Listen Local crew chat about a TON of events going on in the area this weekend, plus they discuss the MASSIVE coach signing by the Northern Lakes Lightning Hockey Team.
All of that and MORE on this week's episode!
