Episode notes
Most restaurant shows talk to owners. This one sits down with the person who actually runs the room.
Jessica Rice is the Director of both The Station locations in Des Moines, on Ingersoll and on 86th, and a nominee for the Iowa Restaurant Association’s 40 Women to Watch. We filmed inside The Station on Ingersoll to talk about how she got into hospitality, what it takes to keep two crews running like one bar, what a college football Saturday looks like from behind the scenes, and what it means to lead in a space people still call a guy’s world.
If you work in this industry, you’ll recognize yourself in this one.
On the Line 515 is an on location interview series with Iowa restaurant operators, telling the stories behind the places we eat and drink.
