WilmingtonBiz Talk About The Restaurant Scene

By Vicky Janowski, posted Mar 10, 2022

On Thursday’s BizTalk, we checked on the latest buzz from Wilmington’s restaurant scene.

Joining were Terry Espy, president of MoMentum Companies who has worked with a number of restaurateurs to open locally, and Daniel Hlusak, corporate chef of Floriana, which opened in downtown Wilmington in April 2020, just at the start of the pandemic.

They talked about the latest addition to the restaurant scene, the continued recovery with pandemic for chefs and owners, updates on supply chain and employees and other areas the industry is watching.

View the full BizTalk conversation below. Also listen to this and future weekly WilmingtonBiz Talk discussions on the Business Journal's podcast, available on Apple Podcasts, Spotify and Stitcher.


BizTalk is livestreamed on the Business Journal's Facebook page each week, typcially at noon Thursday. For notifications on upcoming topics, sign up for newsletters at wilmingtonbiz.com/register and to submit topic or speaker ideas, email [email protected].
