Episode 26: Peter Pyne (Olespaña)

Meet Peter Pyne! He's the executive chef and owner of Olespaña, a Spanish bar and restaurant here in Watertown. We talk about growing up as a farmer in northern Spain (but also studying economics), the cultural differences between the US and Spain and how those play out in the restaurant business, how he's put a lot of thought into the interior design of the place (including Victorian bathtub chandeliers, antique radios, and drink taps installed in pianos), the challenges of managing food with a restaurant that makes fresh homemade meals, the history of tapas, and more!
