Chefs Britt Rescigno and Kinsey Leodler dive into the high-stakes first year of Fiamma, their live-fire destination restaurant in Sun Valley, Idaho. The duo shares how they successfully pivoted their concept from a pasta house to an Italian steakhouse, the operational genius behind their "five-burgers-a-day" exclusivity play, and the mindset shift required to move from micromanagement to empowered leadership. It’s a masterclass in adapting to an emerging market, building a sustainable team culture, and the "yin and yang" of a professional and personal partnership.
