Is There a Right Way to Run a Neighbourhood Restaurant Anymore? (with James Langford-Smith & James Iranzad)
Episode 117
Wednesday, 22 July, 2026
What exactly is a "neighbourhood restaurant", and is it something that can be manufactured through PR and virality? To understand these questions in greater detail - including how they relate to Vancouver’s current dining scene - I sit down with podcast regulars James Langford-Smith (June, Pamplemousse Jus) and James Iranzad (Gooseneck Hospitality) to get their individual insights, expectations, and dining experiences of the "neighbourhood restaurant". Will the financials of operations make the romantic idea of the “neighbourhood restaurant” a more complicated concept than ever before? Find out where we stand by listening to my conversation with the local F&B/hospitality industry vets now.And for further reading on this topic, check out my latest column, "The Restaurant Everyone Wants Doesn’t Make Sense Anymore", via Substack.
