How The Glen Ellen Star Won 12 Straight Michelin Bib’s
About this episode
The episode explores the success of Glen Ellen Star and its Michelin Bib Gourmand awards through insights from its chef and managing partner.
Following an unbelievable 12th straight Michelin Bib Gourmand award, host Dano Weir had to track down Chef Ari Weiswasser and Managing Partner Spencer Waite of the Glen Ellen Star restaurant for an episode of It’s All Money. Just what is a Michelin Bib Gourmand award? How is it different from a Michelin Star? Awards are amazing, but they only happen with great food and great people. What early decisions and values both in and out of the kitchen have led to their business success? How did success at Glen Ellen Star lead to the opening of their second restaurant, Stella in Kenwood? ....and is a mystery third restaurant coming to Sonoma proper soon? How is opening a restaurant from scratch different than opening a restaurant with investors? How have changing food and labor costs over the past decade-plus shown up in the menu? How does having 1 night a week with no corkage actually result in more full tables? Whether you’ve been and loved the Glen Ellen Star or you’re looking to learn about it for the first time, we hope you find business insight and maybe get a little hungry from episode 28 of It’s All Money!
