About the Series
Who are we? Why are we creating this podcast? Why am I reading this segment in Morgan Freeman’s voice? I’ll tell you why. It’s because The AfterHours Podcast is the best damn podcast that sits down and talks with bar and restaurant owners to discover what it’s like to run an engaging company. Join us on our journey to look through the eyes of your local food entrepreneurs. Sit back, grab a drink from your local brewery, and enjoy.

Benchmark Restaurant

Benchmark Restaurant is the ‘new standard’ for fine dining in Northwest Ohio. Benchmark is known for their “chef’s way” steak entrees which were created by their head chef and owner, Jeff Dinnebeil, and it has since become a fan favorite on their menu. Joey and Frankie have the pleasure of talking with their GM, Jon Mickle, who shares his 20-year journey through the restaurant industry.
Traverse City Whiskey Co.

Chris Fredrickson was presented with the opportunity of a lifetime when he stumbled upon his family’s secret distilling patents. In 2012 he started distilling using these patents as a guide, and thus TC Whiskey Co. was founded. Nearly a decade since finding those distilling patents, Frankie and Joey have the pleasure of sampling some products using those same whiskey distilling techniques.
