The Banter
The Guys talk about restaurants being an integral part of emerging downtowns and about a yogurt shop that needs a bouncer.

The Restaurant Guys host Marcus Sammuelson to talk about cuisines all over the world, particularly the regions of Africa. He wants to open people’s eyes to the delicious flavors of African cuisine and expresses interest in opening an African restaurant someday. This dream finally happened in 2024!
The Inside Track
The Guys and Marcus discuss the uniqueness of the restaurant business and the power of food to communicate.
