Podcasts about downtown kitchener

This week we are joined by Justin Vail who currently lives in Toronto, Ontario. Justin is the co-owner of Sugar Run in Downtown Kitchener. Justin got his start in the industry in his early 20's while he was in the midst of pursing a musical career. Working in The Industry provided Justin the freedom to have a flexible schedule. One of Justin's early jobs was working at Wildcraft - one of the many restaurants in the South Western Ontario chain of restaurants owned by the Charcoal Group. Working in a chain provided the structure and rigidity that helped shaped Justin's approach to his career which he has maintained ever since. Justin has worked in many different aspects of The Industry from fine dining, to high volume bars and independent breweries. Justin is now co-owner of Sugar Run along with The Industry Podcast host Kypp Saunders.
