Summary
Chris Edwards joins the pod for a hilarious, story-packed episode from Belzan, covering the wild journey from all-day chaos at Filter and Fox to building one of the North West’s most respected hospitality groups. There are tales of 7 a.m. coffees turning into midnight Manhattans, meeting future business partners across the bar, and the painful but necessary decision to close beloved venues at the right time. Chris reflects on Liverpool’s changing scene, the magic and madness of running restaurants, starstruck moments with Duncan from Blue and Lord of the Rings cast members, plus Will Ferrell’s visit during Eurovision. He also talks candidly about lockdown, break-ups, tough customers, staff loyalty, expansion, risk, VAT, and why giving great people room to grow is what keeps the business moving. Expect plenty of laughs, martinis, cosmic Scousers, Guinness John, Amsterdam stag-do warnings, Marco Pierre White blocking the pod, New York pilgrimages, and the greatest play-out song choice in podcast history.
