It Started with a Crepe

Married restaurateurs Jeff Tonidandel and Jamie Brown are turning an abandoned historic church into Charlotte’s next landmark dining experience. At the same time, they’re relocating a 120-year-old building while running five award-winning eateries, managing 230 employees, and raising three children. It’s a high-stake juggling act that is the ultimate test of ambition, grit, and family.
