<p>Most restaurants today are in a constant state of change. Some are closing. Many have already closed. In the midst of difficulty lies opportunity. Rents have and are dropping and landlords are desperate for tenants with backing. Competition is obviously minimized. Talent is available and ready. Can opportunity be made from this shitty year and if so, what other new challenges lie in the wait?<br /><br />Our guest today is Jorge Guzman, chef and partner of <a href="https://petiteleonmpls.com/">Petite Leon</a> in Minneapolis MN. Prior Petite Leon, Jorge was exec chef at Surly Brewing in Minneapolis and was a F&W BNC and a JBF finalist. Jorge and his partners began building earlier their restaurant earlier this year. </p><p><i>Heritage Radio Network is a listener supported nonprofit podcast network.
