Will Guidara: proving a little bit of hospitality goes a long way (S8/Ep.05)

Published on: 2nd November, 2022

Will Guidara is the former owner of Eleven Madison Park, a restaurant that once held the #1 spot on The World's 50 Best Restaurants list. He is often referred to as a master in hospitality - both in and out of the restaurant industry - which inspired him to write his first book, Unreasonable Hospitality; the remarkable power of giving people more than they expect. In this episode, we discuss behind-the-scenes stories from key moments and decisions he made during his career, why he champions hospitality, and learn more about his new book. We also touch upon his work with the IRC, the Independent Restaurant Coalition. Enjoy this episode as we go Beyond the Plate… with Will Guidara
