“Mise & Place” is a short film series that follows Fort Wayne restauranteurs for a night on the town, visiting some of their favorite local establishments. Dreamed up by
a crew of Fort Wayne filmmakers, artists, and restaurant staff, it tells the story of the city's food scene from the perspective of workers behind the swinging doors at local kitchens.
Season 1 is hosted by the team at
Mercado on The Landing, including Owners Johnny & Esli Barron Perez, Event Coordinator Thomas Beckman, and Beverage Director Spencer Maule. They meet with staff at three of their favorite spots:
J.K. O'Donnell's Irish Ale House,
Landing Beer Co., and
Copper Spoon. Watch the first episode on J.K. O'Donnell's
here.
In Episode 2 (above), The Mercado team visits Landing Beer Co. to share a conversation with Executive Chef Adam House and Bar Manager Jeff Walker. Service and hospitality is the hot topic.
“Mise & Place” is produced by Upper Valley Film Co.
