#5 - Chef Matthew Spinner of Bar Oni - a podcast by Ray Chmielecki

On this episode of the Spoon Mob Podcast, Ray talks with executive chef and co-owner of the Tremont located Bar Oni, the notoriously NSFW chef Matthew Spinner. They chat about PPP loans, how he got started in the industry, working in Cleveland, staging overseas, working in San Francisco, opening Park Tavern, getting fired, moving to Chicago, his time at Next, moving back home to Cleveland, being offered to take over as chef at Ushabu, going PhD level deep on researching Japanese cuisine and culture, pivoting to a neighborhood Izakaya, the recent launch of Conforti before answering the "burning grill" questions, telling one of the best Anthony Bourdain stories you'll ever here from anyone in the industry, and absolutely eviscerating (rightfully so) GrubHub!
