We chat with Jason Brown about how he started his restaurant and his perspective on general community development!
Show Notes
- His journey started at age 15 when he began a new gig as a line chef at well-known local restaurant, Noa Noa. Years later at age 29, restaurateur Jason Brown expanded the restaurant scene in K-County and opened One Ten Craft Meatery in Warsaw.
A couple things that define the One Ten way of business:
-
- One Ten sources local food ingredients in and around Indiana.
- One Ten recently eliminated its traditional tipping model. The tip is built into the menu/price of the food. It allows them to take better care of staff with minimal cost to guests.
-
Jason believes competition breeds success, and as a community we all benefit when we support one another. He’s had a supportive circle of local business owners who are just a text message or phone call away.
- From the restaurant scene, to lake living, trails and frisbee golf, there’s something for everyone to enjoy in their own backyard in K-County.
Don’t overlook these gems in K-County:
-
- Jason recommends checking out the Beyer Farm Greenway Trailhead behind Kosciusko Community Hospital in Warsaw, where he enjoys walking his dog and biking–and it’s mosquito free!
-
He recommends the Thai House (820 E. Winona Avenue) in Warsaw.“ [Thai House] flavors are great, portions are insane and her prices are fair,” said Jason.
After joining the board of directors for the City-County Athletic Complex in Warsaw, Jason learned more about its offerings and value to the K-County community.
“Our responsibility goes beyond making money. We want to develop people—if you develop people, your community is a better place.” –Jason Brown
