This week we're introducing you to someone who should probably write a book or run for office or be making millions as a big time corporate CEO — or at the very least be relaxing on the sandy Gulf Shores beaches — but is instead pouring himself into his Gulf Shores Restaurants. How he says keeping busy during the pandemic will set them up for future success, why he calls the restaurant his "pulpit" and the conversations he hopes you're having with strangers in his dining room.

Plus, we have all the fall fun in your weekend planner and a chance to help Dori make a big decision. Seize the plate!
