Steven Smithing, Owner of Green Hills Grille in Nashville, TN & Mere Bulles in Brentwood, TN
Restaurateur Steven Smithing is the owner of Green Hills Grille in Nashville, TN and Mere Bulles in Brentwood TN. He is no stranger to hard work having worked at Green Hills Grille in the 90s as a server and bartender and ultimately as general manager. Steven has worked in the restaurant business since his first dishwashing job at age 16. He decided to go independent and bought his first Restaurant which was a well known and established hospitality icon in the Nashville Restaurant scene, Mere Bulles. Since the original had closed, Steven then decided to revitalize and re-open Green Hills Grille which had been a staple for many dates, anniversaries and business dinners in Nashville, TN over a period of 20 years.
About the author, Eric Martin
I have over 27 yrs. experience in the foodservice industry where I started in entry level sales calling on chefs and restaurant owners day in and day out. In 2006, I recognized my dream of becoming a business owner when my partners and I purchased the company that we helped build. During my career, I've grown to learn that restaurant owners are some of the most special entrepreneurs in the world. As the Founder of the Feeding Your Passion podcast, I'm excited about this opportunity to tell their stories.
