About this listen

On this episode of the Crushin' It Podcast, we host Owensboro’s culinary visionary Ben Skiadas, owner of Famous Bistro, Lure Seafood and Grill, and Lure Smoke Shack. Ben shares how he grew up in the family restaurant business and fearlessly took risks to bring high-end seafood to a landlocked city, leveraging specialized air freight logistics through Louisville. He details his mission to prove that Owensboro is a hotbed of cuisine and culture and explains why he offers "unheard of" employee benefits, like insurance and paid vacation, to foster loyalty. Finally, Ben discusses his deep community involvement, including the moving Hope for the Homeless initiative at Christmas.
