With Mike Bisceglia filling in for Shawn Walchef, this Rising Tides Live conversation explored why historic restaurants matter and what it takes to preserve them for future generations. Joined by Mike Ungaro of San Pedro Fish Market, Loycent Gordon of Neir’s Tavern, and Peter Salib of Old Time Eatery Guide, the panel shared how storytelling, community connections, and adapting to changing times help iconic restaurants thrive. From building customer loyalty and protecting a brand’s legacy to training staff to share each restaurant’s history, the discussion highlighted why preserving these neighborhood institutions is about far more than serving great food.
