46 - Behind the Service: The “Origin” Story You Haven’t Heard

This week's episode is a special one — a little different, a little more personal. We’re sitting down with my dear friends and co-host, Jess & Russell, the incredible minds and hearts behind Origin Kitchen + Bar. For years, Origin has been more than just a restaurant — it’s been a gathering place, a labor of love, and a community built around connection, creativity, and truly good food. But recently, they made the difficult decision to close this beautiful chapter.

In this conversation, we’ll talk about the journey — the dreams that sparked Origin, the lessons learned through the grind and the grace of running a restaurant, and what it means to let something so meaningful come to an end. It’s about passion, purpose, evolution, and the courage it takes to follow your truth — even when that means closing a door you’ve poured your heart into.

This one’s for anyone who’s ever built something from love, watched it change, and learned to trust the next chapter. Let’s dive into the story behind Origin Kitchen + Bar — and the beautiful people who brought it to life.
