Summary

Host Max welcomes Charlotte hospitality duo Jeff Tonidandel + Jamie Brown, recapping their busy slate: operating five restaurants including Supperland, Haberdish, Ever Andalo, and Leluia Hall; opening "Olivelli Deli" (a tiny 82-square-foot former donut shop) with sandwiches and soft serve; developing Wyatt's Super Fine inside the 1903 Leeper-Wyatt building they physically moved 750 feet; earning three Michelin Guide spots; filming season two of their PBS show Fork & Hammer; running their weekly podcast Jeff and Jamie Feed; launching a commissary to centralize production and add a shoppable market; and Jamie's new book Eleven Tables about successes and failures. They discuss key team members, concept/design philosophy, menu and operational challenges, a major abandoned pre-COVID project, Jamie's diet changes tied to mental health via the gut-brain connection, and advice for Max's new director-of-operations role. Fork & Hammer season two is slated for January 2027.
