Big Dreams. Bold Moves.
One Unforgettable Show.

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.
