#152 - Painting the Town Verde with Koire Rogers and Anthony Laborin
When a new restaurant or bar opens, seeing how the local industry folks react to it is always a great indicator of how good it is. I have found that in most circumstances if you hear about a place from folks or consistently see a place filled with servers, bartenders and cooks on their days off, you're in for a treat. Verde is just such a place - though when you learn of its founders, who are industry vets themselves, it makes sense. Koire Rogers and Anthony Laborin are established hospitality industry professionals who have opened an amazing new space in Costa Mesa, CA.The Best Ceats Podcast brings unprecedented access to the Orange County hospitality industry each and every episode.
