A roundtable chat with Jane Wright, founder of Jane’s on the Common restaurant and Jane’s Catering and Events, along with your host Vincent and Breakhouse partner Peter Wuensch.
In this conversation: the magic of a successful restaurant, the oversized importance of space and experience design in hospitality, and the go-and-get-it attitude and work ethic of the woman who made it happen.

An inspiration for Jane: “Restaurants That Work” by Martin E. Dorf
