Why culture is so important in a restaurant

A Deeper Dive: Cameron Mitchell, founder of Cameron Mitchell Restaurants, joins the RB podcast to talk about building culture, the state of fine dining and chocolate milkshakes.

Why are chocolate milkshakes so important to Cameron Mitchell?

This week's episode of the Restaurant Business podcast A Deeper Dive features Mitchell, founder of Cameron Mitchell Restaurants and one of the country's most successful restaurant creators. 

Mitchell's company operates 64 restaurants in 20 brands, including the fine dining brand Ocean Prime. He talks about his reasons for starting a restaurant company and why culture was so important to him from day one. We talk about a range of other topics, including the state of fine dining and how his company was able to emerge from the pandemic.

He also talks about hospitality and chocolate milkshakes but we will let him tell that story.

It’s a great conversation with one of the industry’s more accomplished restaurateurs. And this week, I give you thoughts on three big stories this week, including Subway, Chipotle and Patrick Doyle.
