This week’s episode of Opening Soon is all about designing and building your dream restaurant with Chef Missy Robbins. You’ve chosen your partners, you’ve got a lease and your business plan is in full effect. Now for the design and construction phase. Where do you focus and what is essential. Who are the key people that will help design and execute your vision and what can you DIY?

We are joined by celebrated chef Missy Robbins, JBF Best Chef NYC in 2018 and owner of Misi and Lilia restaurants in Williamsburg BK. Most of you know her for her take on simplicity and using thoughtful ingredients to highlight regional italian cooking. But she is also super passionate about design and personally oversaw much of the process while building both Lilia and Misi.
