Your Host

Brandon Styll.

Nearly a decade as Director of Operations for some of Nashville's most respected restaurants. Owner of New Light Hospitality Solutions. Founder of the Nashville Area Restaurant Alliance.

Nashville Restaurant Radio started because independent restaurant operators are some of the hardest-working people in the city, and nobody was telling their stories. Not the food reviews. Not the Instagram shots. The real stuff: building a business, managing people, navigating burnout, and figuring out how to keep going when the margins are thin and the hours are long.

428 episodes later, the mission is the same. Strong restaurants build strong communities. These conversations are how we get there.
