What the creator captured
Bon Appétit follows Mike Puma as he transitions from a high-stakes Wall Street career to running a high-volume burger destination born from a pandemic pop-up. He emphasizes that success in the restaurant industry requires extreme organization, from automated oil management to the precise 'shingling' of cheese slices. Puma highlights that taking the risk to follow his passion was essential to avoid a lifetime of regret.
