Levi Biddlecombe (Backstairs Burger): From $13 to Sold-Out Lines | Solo Spotlight Ep. 50

Chef/owner Levi Biddlecombe joins Solo Spotlight to break down the founder grind behind Backstairs Burger: from $13 in the account to lines out the door. We get into the food-truck sprint, the Breakfast TV pop, and how to scale fine-dining technique without losing soul. Real ops, real numbers, real craft—house American cheese, house pickles, “bacon glass,” and the blueprint that actually holds.

IN THIS EPISODE:

• The $13 → sold-out arc: momentum, mistakes, and what changed

• The TV break & handling demand without breaking the system

• Scaling craft: what travels in delivery vs. dies on the pass

• Dialing back “too-chefy” prep to keep consistency tight

• Life cost vs. payoff: family, rebuilding, showing up.
