E127: PAPAMIGOS WITH BRIAN FAETH AND LAUREN GRASSO
Today, I sat down with Brian Faeth, CEO, and Lauren Grasso, the COO of Papamigos Taqueria & Raw Bar. Papamigos originated between late 2019 and early 2020, introducing an innovative culinary concept that blended tacos, sushi, and imaginative gastronomy. Emerging from rich backgrounds in upscale dining, Brian and Lauren aimed to surpass conventional norms, catering to a diverse demographic with an elevated dining experience.
Initial plans to establish a presence in Pompano Beach were derailed by the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. Through collaboration with the city, they secured a food trailer at the designated location, navigating the challenges posed by the pandemic. Their culinary offerings quickly gained traction, leading to the establishment of a flagship kitchen in Coconut Creek.
Brian, a 42-year-old Marine Corps Veteran, is now shaping the future with his fiancée Lauren and their combined four children. His military service from 2000 to 2004 included a role as a machine gunner in 1st Battalion, 1st Marines, with deployments in Afghanistan and Iraq. Beyond his military journey, Brian's ventures span the realms of restaurants and real estate, driven by an enduring entrepreneurial spirit. Buckle up!
