1/6/2024 0 Comments Snooze college station![]() Brian?īrian Whitson: Three years with Snooze. And without them, you really have nothing because you can’t do it all yourself. It’s all about the people that work with you day in and day out. ![]() We have the same philosophy about how we- I mean, I’m sure you agree, it’s all about the people. Next thing you know, here we are, working together again and it’s been a blessing. I mean, what am I going to say? No? That’s just a magic formula. Do you want to be the head chef? Brian’s going to be your GM. I got a phone call a couple months later saying, hey, we’re opening up College Station Snooze. I actually left Snooze to come out and move back home, and my wife got a really awesome job after grad school. I’m cutting you off.Īllen Johnson: Well, actually my wife got a job offer with Texas A&M, and for some reason, Texas does that to you, it’s always calling you back home. Go ahead and finish telling everybody about your story. See this, you got to forgive me because I start chasing rabbits too quick. Neil Dudley: Now, did you move here for work, or were you’re trying to get back to Texas? I mean like how did that play out? Now, I’m sorry. So, we already had a relationship, working relationship before we got back to Texas. But actually, Brian and I worked together in California. Hey, man, there are a lot of Californians in Texas these days.Īllen Johnson: You’re not joking. I started off in California, but I just want to make one thing clear – I am from San Antonio. I’ve been with Snooze for about six years. I’m the head chef of Snooze AM Eatery in College Station, Texas. I don’t care.Īllen Johnson: Hey, my name’s AJ. But what about line cooks? Are they running out of your ears? By the way, AJ, tell everybody what you do and the role you play with the company, and Brian you too, or Brian first. And I just imagine in a restaurant space, what you guys do each and every day, you might have a little better deal with college being in town and finding servers and that kind of stuff. I mean, we can’t do what we do without it. Like I want anybody that’s ever researching Pederson’s to have access to a lot of information about our company so they can understand this is who you’re going to work for, this who you’re going to work with because we need that help. I mean, that’s part of the reason for the podcast. It’s tough finding somebody to come be a part of your organization, be a part of the thing you do. Neil Dudley: Well, as I think probably anybody’s experiencing in business right now, labor’s short. But to have an opportunity to see one of our vendors firsthand, it was an opportunity we couldn’t pass up.Īllen Johnson: Well, and the fact that you kept tapping us on the shoulder and saying, “Hey, when you coming up? When you coming up?” that was the motivation right there to be like, hey, we need to get up there. It’s a little slower right now during College Station with the kids in finals and things like that. We had the meetings but got the management team there at the table to hold it down. We got to work a little earlier today to get the stuff done. So, my first question or the first thought that comes to my mind is how do you find time to come up to this plant and do this thing? As valuable as it is, how did you find the time to do that? I mean, is that easy?īrian Whitson: Not exactly the easiest thing. Living and working and building a restaurant and servicing customers in today’s climate has got to be so interesting. I mean, I’m just so curious about so many things that is like an everyday reality for you guys. I’m telling you the bacon there is awesome. And they happened to be coming up just to get to know Pederson’s a little better, give Pederson’s a chance to get to know these guys a little better. I don’t know, is that a way to do it? Yeah, gig ‘em Aggies. These guys work with Snooze and specifically in a store in College Station. By the way, welcome to the show AJ and Brian. I hope you find a chance, an opportunity to hear about our beautiful, awesome industry from thought leaders within the industry from each kind of sector, our consumers, customers, vendors, employees, and peers. It’s just a thing I love, I appreciate, and I hope you do too. Remember don’t tune out, and grab life by the bacon.Įverybody out there in YouTube land, welcome to another episode, show, conversation here on the Pederson Farms Podcast. They’re going to paint a picture from every perspective – consumer, customer, vendor, employee, and peer – that I think is going to be super valuable, and we’re really excited to share. And we look forward to sharing these conversations with thought leaders from our industry. Neil Dudley: Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Pederson’s Farms podcast.
