The Restaurant Guys

Listening to The Restaurant Guys is the next best thing to hanging out with Francis and Mark at their restaurants in New Brunswick (Stage Left Steak and Catherine Lombardi. Francis Schott and Mark Pascal, partners for 30 years, are two of the brightest and most genuine human beings I know and amongst the best proprietors in this industry. Their total ease and lively conversation bring out the best stories from the top chefs, bartenders and owners in the hospitality business. Their passion for their work and respect for their employees, translates to an amazing experience for their guests. The conversation starts with food and drink and often ends with the world and where we wish to go as human beings. The Restaurant Guys started their careers with a passion for fine food and drink and an insatiable desire to learn. Their endless curiosity ignites that passion in their guests. So, make yourself a drink, pull up a chair and have a listen. Dale DeGroff, Bartender, Author and Bon Vivant

So happy they have resurrected this Podcast….. Great listen from guys who own two great restaurants!!

Glad to see they are back doing what they do. The insight I have learn every time still amazes me. Looking forward to more of these.!

People who visit restaurants, may think they know how restaurants tick, but Francis and Pascal take us behind the veneer on a wide range of topics. Some of the new (2024) podcasts are nicely paired with ones from the archive, consisting of quaffable segments, which shows a now and then contrast very well. The interviews also take us through the back story of some of the interviewees too, and adds color to what we know and how we might understand the industry better Well worth spending the time on the podcast, they’re bite sized, so you won’t put on weight, but you will drool from time to time with the descriptions!
