Brittany Vaughan of Garnish Design joins Eric on the show today. Brittany speaks with Eric about how she developed an interest in restaurant design, pivoting into restaurant design after working front of house for years, the common things that people don't think about when it comes to designing a restaurant (where are we putting the trash cans?), the subtle touches added to the design of Nancy's Hustle to make it feel relaxing/welcoming for patrons, how important acoustics are, how Covid changed the design plans for Tiny Champions, how she started working with Benjy Levit, why Maximo was challenging to design, the inspiration for Milton's, the status of the new Lee's Den, her next project, and much more!
