Podcast appearances and mentions of john gorham

Salem native Rex Robertson joins us to discuss his exciting new restaurant, Cozy Taberna, that just opened in a few months ago.  We follow Rex's journey from falling in love with his father's A&W Restaurants in Salem as a kid, to working in finer dining over time and realizing hospitality was for him.  He and his wife Lois bought a hallmark deli in Salem and turned that into the popular Little Lois, which is now humming along.  They brought partners into that business and decided it was time to try something bigger.  Rex found a big restaurant space in a downtown Salem alley and were then introduced to both John Gorham and Ryan Magarian, both who made their marks in Portland over the years.  Both consulted to help develop the menu and the bar program at Cozy.  Rex talks about his relationships and what excites him about Salem.  We'll get his suggestions of things to do in Salem as well as some of his other favorite local restaurants.  Right at the Fork is supported by: Zupan's Markets: www.zupans.com RingSide SteakHouse: www.RingsideSteakHouse.com  Portland Food Adventures: www.PortlandFoodAdventures.com

Today I’m joined by local entrepreneur, Renee Gorham, to speak about the benefits of a connection and presence-centered business. With the powerful understanding that “no matter what you’re experiencing, whether it’s life, love, health, or business, you are innately okay”, she is able to lead from a place of empathy and compassion. Renee describes how this has boosted employee morale, increased retention rates, and shifted the culture of her restaurants on the whole. Renee Avril Gorham is Vice President of the Toro Bravo Inc Restaurant Group including Toro Bravo, Tasty n Daughters, Tasty n Alder, Mediterranean Exploration Company, PLAZA DEL TORO, Shalom Y’all, and Bless Your Heart Burgers. She has been a vital part of the Gorham Restaurants’ vision from the beginning, bringing craft, nuance, and hospitality to the front of house service since the start of Toro Bravo with owner, chef, and her now-husband, John Gorham.

  Long before the death of Anthony Bourdain, Restauranteur John Gorham was addressing the issue of mental health in the kitchen. Restaurant workers have the highest rate of illicit drug use and the second-highest rate of suicide. In this episode, John talks with the Beyond Well team about the structural changes he's made to address anxiety, depression and drug use in restaurant workers. "Anthony's suicide was brutal on our industry," John says, "Because he had it all. He had the dream. He had it all. So if life wasn't good enough for him, how could it possibly be good enough for others who don't have his skills?"  John Gorham is Executive Chef/Owner of iconic Portland restaurants Toro Bravo, Tasty n Daughters, Tasty n Alder, PLAZA DEL TORO and co-owner of Mediterranean Exploration Company, Shalom Y'all, and Bless Your Heart Burgers. Gorham believes that a chef’s cuisine and style is influenced by a trade route composed of travels, past work and cities lived in. 

John Gorham is back on the podcast to talk about Tasty & Sons move from N Williams Avenue to the Woodsman Tavern space on SE Division, and becoming Tasty & Daughters. John also talks to Chris and Cort about his brain tumor, his road to recovery, and how he plans to spend Christmas Day (it's the same things he's done for years, by the way).  This episode of Right at the Fork is sponsored by: Zupan's Markets: www.Zupans.com RingSide Steak House: www.RingSideSteakHouse.com  Portland Food Adventures: www.PortlandFoodAdventures.com
