E12: Central Floridians Are Loving This Modern Day Speakeasy

Locals in Orlando have all heard of The Pharmacy — a modern day
speakeasy-themed restaurant in downtown Orlando. Anyone who’s
visited knows a secret password is necessary to enter (and, the
door is actually cleverly concealed — like a true speakeasy).


 


On this episode, Chef Owner Loren Falsone tells her tale of
working at the world-famous Al Forno’s in Providence, RI, before
opening her third venture here in Florida, The Pharmacy.


 


What we talked about:


 


How The Pharmacy was funded on a handshake by a wealthy local
businessman


 


Business partners


 


Young entrepreneurs


 


Opening a restaurant


 


Working with & reaching out to the local Orlando community
