He shares the stories behind iconic menu items like Mozzarella Marinara, memorable moments from State Fair and Summerfest, and the pride of seeing former team members launch their own successful ventures. The conversation also looks ahead to “Festa Sazama” during Brewers Opening Weekend and Jeff closes with insights on community building and the evolving role of AI.🎙️ The Upswing is presented by Horicon Bank.
