Interview: From Nobu To DoorDash - Inside The Restaurant Industry Apr 10, 2026

Show notes

The foodservice business is a very tough industry to succeed in. So what does it take to have a successful restaurant? In this episode, Mosh sits down with restaurateur Drew Nieporent--who helped build iconic restaurants like Nobu and Tribeca Grill--to discuss Drew's new book, ⁠I'm Not Trying To Be Difficult: Stories from the Restaurant Trenches⁠.

Drew traces his path from working at McDonald’s to opening 40 restaurants, explaining why most restaurants fail and how successful ones create experiences that bring people back for more.

Plus, we dive into the history and changing trends of the industry: how Nobu brought sushi to the mainstream in the 1990s, what social media and delivery apps have meant for the restaurant business, and how you can get the best experience the next time you go dining out.
