Pincho's Otto Othman on merging Latin flavor and Middle Eastern hospitality in Miami fast casual - a podcast by DADEMAG.com

Pincho — perhaps better known in South Florida by its original name, Pincho Factory — is a distinctly Miami fast casual restaurant brand that’s grown to 10 locations serving kebobs and burgers. Co-founder and CEO Otto Othman joined us on this episode to talk about his own path from marketing to restaurants, how his Palestinian and Brazilian heritage came together with time growing up in Hialeah to inform Pincho’s take on Miamian casual dining (from the Tostón burger, which replaces the bun with fried plantains, to the Fritanga Burger that takes its inspiration from Nicaraguan cuisine). Otto and Mike also discuss the challenges of the restaurant business, how Otto and his company powered through some uncertain times to take Pincho from a struggling concept to an expanding enterprise with a goal of opening 100 locations, and some of the business and hospitality philosophy that fuels Pincho.
