940: Andrew Choi & Patrick Bouaphanh Co-Owners of Jinsei Motto

<p>Andrew Choi and Patrick Bouaphahn are the Co-Owners of Jinei Motto, a restaurant/bar in Chicago. Andrew is FOH while Patrick is BOH. Andrew Choi moved around a lot as a youth because he had parents in the military, but in 2015, when he was 14, he landed in Chicago. Andrew had his first job in the restaurant industry at Sushi Dock, where he and Patrick first met. Andrew and Patrick became good friends there, and were eventually let go for drinking on the job together. Andrew then moved on to FOH work at Bohemian House in Chicago and stayed there only for 6 months before working with Patrcik again at Union Sushi. Soon after leaving the restaurant industry COVID happened and Andrew decided to team up with Patrick to create Jinsei Motto, which exists inside an existing distillery, called C.H. Distillery. Jinsei Motto and C.H. Distillery are two separate entities operating out of the same space.</p> <h2>Show notes…</h2> <h3>Calls to ACTION!!!</h3> <ul> <li>Join <a href= "https://www.restaurantunstoppablenetwork.com/plans/47357?bundle_token=17a3bdca1ccbc19303dff68d05df5ab2&utm_source=manual">Restaurant Unstoppable Network</a> and get your first 30 days on me!  Connect with my past guest and a community of superfans.</li> <li>Subscribe to the <a href= "https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCJSERtxnAE3V7T9PQ19w_Og">Restaurant Unstoppable YouTube Channel</a></li> <li>Join the private <a href= "https://www.facebook.com/groups/493649961457862/">Unstoppable Facebook Group</a></li> <li>Join the email list!
