    162. Maintaining the Lost Art of Hand Painted Signs ft. Ches Perry [Right Way Signs]
    Jul 16 2025

    Our next guest has been hand painting signs since 1970. I can’t help but think about him every time I drive west on the Kennedy expressway and peer over to the roof of the Salt Shed. He did that! Join us as we reflect on how he took a leap of faith on art school and immigrated to Chicago from Newfoundland, Canada. A lot of us are striving for peace from mind and he reminds us that it’s simpler than we think. Please enjoy my conversation with Ches Perry.

    161. Full Circle Moments with Andrew Lim of Perilla Fare and Steakhouse
    Jul 1 2025

    Our next guest is the Executive Chef and Partner of Perilla Fare and Steakhouse. Andy opens up about not being Korean enough or American enough and how he ultimately found his voice as a person and as a Chef. He was initially tapped as a consultant for the space that is now known as Perilla Fare. That relationship evolved into becoming the Executive Chef and Partner. Recognizing the importance of complementary strengths, Andy brought on Thomas Oh as Partner and General Manager to handle the Front of House operations. It’s so cool to see the success they’re having with both Fare and Steakhouse as well as the new handroll bar, Noriko, helmed in part by his brother Billy, which is beneath Perilla Fare. Please enjoy my conversation with Andrew Lim.
