Kevin opened his first restaurant, Lazy Days Café, in the area. In 1995, Kevin opened Indigo Wine Bar, and Oliver opened The Red Bar. Oliver recalls his own journey in the hospitality industry, as well as the heart-wrenching story of The Red Bar burning down just a few years ago. He was able to rebuild it almost exactly as the original had been—with some improvements—and we were excited to film this episode on location there.In the second half of the interview, Lisa and Kevin dive into Kevin’s new book, The Bottomless Cup. He takes readers and now listeners on a journey through his childhood, his relationship with his mother, his restaurant career, personal relationships, navigating COVID-19 as a business owner, and the loss of his mother in 2020. A common thread throughout his life seems to be the ability to maintain meaningful and long-standing relationships. Kevin and his business partner, Rob Katz, currently own and operate 26 restaurants in Chicago, Los Angeles, Nashville, and New York City through Boka Restaurant Group. The pair won the James Beard Award for Outstanding Restaurateur in America in 2018.

    VIE Speaks Episode 87: "Innovators Who Do" - A Conversation with Stacey Brady

    On this episode of VIE Speaks: Conversations with Heart & Soul podcast, host Lisa Marie Burwell, VIE’s CEO/editor-in-chief, spoke with Grand Boulevard director of marketing, Stacey Brady. The energy in this episode is contagious, and we loved hearing the stories Stacey shared! Lisa and Stacey have been colleagues and friends for a span of close to 30 years. Originally from Memphis, Tennessee, Stacey worked for SEASIDE®️, Florida, for six years. She recalls it being an exciting time, with The Truman Show having just been released and drawing a lot of attention to Seaside, both nationally and internationally. A recurring theme within Stacey’s career is a passion for doing more. She led the way and wrote the submission for Seaside for an Urban Land Institute (ULI) award. The town not only became a finalist, but actually won "Best in Show." Stacey then began working with Grand Boulevard Town Center in Miramar Beach in 2006. After a few hiccups along the way, like the commercial real estate fallout and the BP oil spill in 2009, the vision for the property became a reality with beautiful architecture, shops, restaurants, and exciting events. Stacey was also instrumental in creating the concert venue on the north lawn at Grand Boulevard that has since hosted Darius Rucker in 2012, the 30A Songwriters Festival Main Stage, and other great performances. This episode will have you smiling from start to finish!
