Oui Chef Podcast
Three years after opening a restaurant in Malibu, Nicolas Fanucci and his son Lucas Fanucci have been embraced by the locals and loved by many. Starting a small business with your family in an exclusive up-scale beach town where locals are keen on resisting any changes to the, what used to be ‘quaint’, beach town during the outbreak of a pandemic is not easy. In this podcast, the Fanuccis discuss the key to success: hospitality. In a typical French kitchen, you will hear the term “Oui Chef” various times between chefs and servers. Oui Chef does not just translate to “Yes Chef”, but it has become a way of life for restaurant employees. For Nicolas and Lucas, Oui Chef speaks for the level of hospitality delivered to every customer, never saying no to a single request… even if it means serving a Malibu local fresh lobster. In the “Oui Chef” podcast, the father and son give listeners an inside take on building a business, working with family and managing the restaurant industry.
