Meet Jeff Tonidandel and Jamie Brown—married restaurateurs, fearless dreamers, and the ultimate power couple behind some of Charlotte’s hottest restaurants. Now, they’re taking on their biggest challenges yet.
They’re transforming a former church into the city’s next iconic dining destination—while relocating a 120-year-old building to launch restaurant number seven. Add to that five wildly different, award-winning spots already under their belt, 230 team members to lead, and three kids to raise… and you’ve got a whirlwind of chaos, creativity, and culinary ambition.
It’s a high-stakes, heart-filled balancing act — and the ride is just getting started.
