Seattle chef Victor Steinbrueck on high-touch hospitality in a fast-casual space

Description

Chef and restaurateur Victor Steinbrueck shook up the Seattle seafood scene when he opened LocalTide in 2020. The restaurant refuses to fall into typical seafood or restaurant categories, like fish and chips or fine dining sole. It’s serving up sustainable, sophisticated dishes that work just as well as takeout or while enjoying the hip vibes of Local Tide. Steinbrueck and guest host Gloria Dawson discuss making pandemic pivots, finding moments for high-touch hospitality at a fast-casual restaurant, and what sustainable growth means for a self-described "slow mover."
