The Fire Where Professionals Thrive: A Conversation with Anissa Dingle (Dingle's Public House)
In this powerful discussion, Anissa Dingle and I sit down to discuss the launch of one of San Francisco's most anticipated new restaurants, Dingle's Public House, which she co-founded with her husband, George Dingle. Anissa shares her journey from being her mother's "unintentional protégé" in the Salinas restaurant scene to the intense commitment required to open a business. We dissect the core philosophy of hospitality, exploring why wine and service are fundamentally about human connection. Anissa details the overwhelming stress of the launch process, the resilience found in their shared vision , and the profound sense of identity that comes from embracing the constant, even masochistic, struggle of the industry. This is an essential conversation on finding strength through adaptation.
