#202 Nate Tilden - Restaurateur

/

Hard to believe it took us 6 years to finally have Nate Tilden on the podcast (our fault, not his!). 

Nate has been working in the restaurant industry for well over 20 years, having started out as a dishwasher and then working his way up to chef.   He managed Castagna for a  few years, before opening up Clyde Common in 2007. In 2010, he opened the sports bar Spirit of 77 in the Rose Quarter.  He's also the co-owner of Olympia Provisions, Bar Casa Vale, Rushmore Baking and more.
