Meet Jeff Tonidandel and Jamie Brown—married restaurateurs, fearless dreamers, and the ultimate power couple behind some of Charlotte’s hottest restaurants including Supperland, Leluia Hall, Ever Andalo, Haberdish, Growlers Pourhouse and (new!) Olivelli Deli. Now, they’re taking on their biggest challenges yet.
In season one, they transformed a former church into the city’s next iconic dining destination—while relocating a 120-year-old building to launch yet another restaurant. Add to that five wildly different, award-winning spots already under their belt, 250 team members to lead, and three kids to raise… and you’ve got a whirlwind of chaos, creativity, and culinary ambition.
It’s a high-stakes, heart-filled balancing act—and the ride is just getting started. Stay tuned for season 2!
