#248 Lyf Gildersleeve - Flying Fish Company

Lyf Gildersleeve is our guest for another two-part interview.  We sat down with Lyf to talk about opening his new Flying Fish restaurant just weeks after opening the doors in late February, in which we hear what it took to make the move to a brick and mortar restaurant and market. 

Since that interview was just prior to the pandemic, we followed up that recording with another phone interview with Lyf on May 15th, where we discuss how the pandemic affected Flying Fish, and how having a strong retail market following helped during COVID-19.  Lyf also talks about how he backed into help from a bank and what that did for many restaurants in Portland.  Part 2 of the interview begins at the 1:10:00 mark.
