From Michelin Stars to Sandwiches- We Talk About Responsible Leadership

Today we talk to Ryan Pfeiffer. Who talks us through his journey of how he landed in Chicago. He talks about how he went from running a Michelin Star kitchen to following his dreams of opening a Sandwich Shop. Big Kids was opened during the pandemic in the iconic Logan Square neighborhood of Chicago. He discusses tips on responsibly leadership, how to give good feedback to your team and his plans for a profit sharing model when that is possible.

Big Kids is a newly opened spa in Logan square. Unlike other spas, Big Kids does not focus on pampering the people… but instead, the sandwich. The last thing anyone wants is to eat a stressed out sandwich, so we take our time to make all of our sandwiches feel comfortable and stress free before releasing them back into the world. Ryan “stack em up” Pfeiffer opened Big Kids Sandwich Spa in October 2020 with his partners: Mason “here for it” Hereford, Wade “gimme dat cactus” McElroy, and Jeff “the hair” Donahue, with the intention of making life better, not only for the diner, but for the sandwich as well. They change their hours often as well as their menu, and the only thing they consider to be more fun than running Big Kids is playing with dogs.
