Ivan Gil-Silva is a force to be reckoned with. He runs a mobile sound company as one of the cities top live sound engineers, has built and operated multiple recording studios, is a talented musician of his own right, and is now focusing on his brick and morter restaurant in the heart of Lawrenceville ‘Mi Empanada.’ He started the restaurant concept from the kitchen of his Southside apartment as a way to feed family and friends. As an immigrant from Cordoba, Argentina at the age of 16 making empanadas is the continuation of a family tradition. The child of research scientists at CMU he settled in Squirrel Hill and attended Alderdice and then Duquesne. We discuss his upbringing, the Pgh restaurant scene, and he gave pointers on what it takes to make it in both the food and music business. This was a fun conversation and I hope we get a chance to run it back in the future!
