Blake is joined on today's episode by Taroko Asian Bar & Grill co-owner, Rain Caputo. The program begins with Blake asking Rain why she opened "Taroko" originally, what she learned from working at Kobe's for 11 years, and the culture shock of immigrating to Redding from Guangzhou, China (2:38). Next, Blake asks Rain to explain her experience of opening a new business during a year with record high inflation, Rain's thoughts on downtown Redding growing, and what it's like to have an authentic asian food restaurant in the heart of downtown (34:27).
