Josh Milholm joins the Dine One Six to discuss his food upbringing, moving from Denver to Sacramento, and early restaurant work from dishwashing to making pizza dough. He recounts serving at Spaghetti Factory and spending 10 years at the Hard Rock Cafe, then attending law school before leaving because he was miserable and returning fully to hospitality, including Harlow’s, Red Rabbit and ultimately The Golden Bear. Josh describes The Golden Bear’s tiny kitchen, creative food and cocktails, its role as an inclusive neighborhood space, and his philosophy of hospitality as leadership that helps diverse people connect and feel seen.

Mandy Hwang started taking photos of her food and writing about her experiences simply for her own enjoyment and memory making. Little did she know that her personal food journal would eventually turn into an influential Sacramento food instagram page.

We talk about Mandy’s deep love of food and Sacramento, the great friends she has met through her instagram page, and the best way to eat cheetos.

We’re back!! It’s been a long road back to the podcast for us (Max and Neill) but we are so excited to get going again. WE already have a bunch of interviews recorded and will get back to posting them every two weeks.

This week we re-launch with an interview with Molly Dennis. Molly has worked all over Sacramento (and the country) and know works for Diageo, a liquor distributor which is responsible for putting some of the most interesting and tasty spirits behind all your favorite bars in the city.

We talk about her history in hospitality, including her start at Red Robin, her favorite liquor brand stories and watching the craft cocktail boom come to Sacramento.
