FULL COMP: The Voice of the Restaurant Industry Revolution

We live in a polite society. We're taught the importance of asking for permission. But what happens when you don't. What happens when you decide one day to start a restaurant. No investors, no permit, no publicist, no permission. You just start.
Today we chat with Logan Sandoval who created Zef BBQ, a trendy BBQ joint on the edge of Los Angeles located in his parents garage. We discuss the inspiration behind starting the restaurant and what led to Zef getting national media attention despite its humble beginnings.
