SUSTAINABLE|KITCHENS JUSTIN JOHNSON CEO/FOUNDER (PICTURED) & DAN O’HEARN VP/PARTNER Founded in January 2015 by chef Justin Johnson, Sustainable|Kitchens has been driven by the belief that all menus used in any food service operation can be comprised of dishes that are made entirely from scratch. To find out how they do this, we sat down with CEO and Founder, Justin Johnson and Vice President and Partner, Dan O’Hearn. FOM: Justin, what was it that lead you to start this company? JJ: I’ve always had the same perception that most people do about hospital food which was that it was terrible and that’s just the way it was. After spending three years, first in a retirement home and then another three years in a hospital, I discovered that these types of places had more similarities with restaurants than differences and why can’t they serve food that is just as good as what you’d find in a restaurant? FOM: Have you found that making the transition from cafeteria style food to scratch food is more challenging than you thought it would be? 4369 S. HOWELL AVE. #203
|
JJ: Quite the opposite. I’ve come to view food service through a very clear lens. The fundamentals of executing food are the same across all segments. And when you just get back to growing food or sourcing it locally and elevating simple ingredients through sound technique, your operation becomes simpler and cheaper to run. FOM: Dan, you recently invested in Sustainable|Kitchens and play an active role in the business. What was it about this concept that made you want to be a part of it? DO: After speaking to Justin the first time, I realized that first and foremost, Sustainable|Kitchens’s mission and focus aligned perfectly with my core beliefs and values, both personally and professionally. I see the whole Sustainable|Kitchens team as “true pioneers” in the sustainability space, where we are defining this new industry and can have a lasting and profound impact on people’s lives and how they view food.

Since its inception in 2008, The Iron Horse Hotel began a hospitality revolution in Walker’s Point, with the transformation of a 100-year-old mattress factory into a one-of-a-kind destination unlike any other in Milwaukee. As part of Aparium Hotel Group’s portfolio of uniquely historical revitalized properties, The Iron Horse Hotel takes locally driven hospitality to new heights as it’s built on the foundation that hotels should be a destination sought out by travelers and a desired gathering place for locals—a philosophy deemed as “Translocal Hospitality.” The iconic hotel goes above and beyond traditional institutions by offering travelers an unmatched experience with its bold individuality. From local live bands to ingredients sourced from farmers within a 90 mile radius and Milwaukee-made craft brews and spirits, the hotel is engrained into Brew City’s roots and celebrates everything the area has
to offer. At the spirited outdoor space, The Yard, and the traditional Milwaukee bar, Branded, the hotel is devoted to creating signature events, concerts, and daily specials for locals to gather and celebrate the everyday. The award-winning restaurant, Smyth, honors the local traditions of the blacksmith’s trade of transforming raw materials into works of art and incorporates this theme into each dish on the menu. The dedicated team plays an essential role in sharing the story of Translocal Hospitality on a daily basis. From entering the hotel with a unique greeting and welcome cocktail at the front desk to making friends with restaurant servers and feeling at home in a lobby that inspires community, the team allows visitors to see in every facet that the hotel revels the bounty of Wisconsin. As The Iron Horse Hotel continues to push above traditional standards set in place by others, it has set a new practice of local hospitality in Milwaukee. OCTOBER 2016

My message is simple; my clients make more money. Another difference that Pat brings to the lake and country table is his history of finding the right fit for his clients. His customized approach began in the automotive industry and has successfully served his clients in buying and selling their homes.

As Pat says, “I was born here, I live here, and I’ve raised my family here. I’m not going anywhere. In the Lake and Country area, my word is my bond.” To establish yourself as the Lake and Country expert, you have to first establish the trust of the community. Pat’s open door approach and work ethic has resonated with the Lake and Country community. He is open and honest with his clients, resulting in the successful sales and purchases of homes in many price ranges. Some people will call Pat’s straightforward approach bold, which is fine with him. My business is built on repeat clients and referrals. “If straight talk is bold,” says Pat, “then go bolder with Bolger.”
