The Risk and Reward of Being a Restaurateur With Anoop Pillarisetti

Dave and Chris chat with Anoop Pillarisetti, owner of the New Orleans–inspired restaurant Strange Delight, about the pain and, in turn, triumphs that can come with opening and running a restaurant. Anoop takes Dave and Chris through the conceptualization and opening of Strange Delight, discusses the pressures and uncertainties of running a restaurant, and dives into the love it takes. Anoop also gives an atlas of Fort Greene, Brooklyn, and a How to Menu at the restaurant.
