On this 41st episode of Menu Stories, we meet Larry Mindel and Executive Chef Benjamin Balesteri of Poggio in Sausalito, California. Mindel is a long-time restaurateur who thought he was retired from the restaurant business after he brought the popular Italian chain, Il Fornaio, to great success. Nonetheless, his undying love for creating restaurants persisted and when the seaside town of Sausalito encouraged him to create a new gathering spot in town, he couldn’t say no.
