If the pandemic has taught us anything over the past year, itâs that community is essential to most peopleâs well-being, says Napaâs Heritage Eats owner Benedict âBenâ W. Koenig IV.
Itâs a main element of his business model and the perfect fit for his new ventureâNapa Valley Lobster Co.
âOver the past year, especially now as weâre, hopefully, coming out the other side of the pandemic tunnel, itâs become clear that restaurants and hospitality are essential; that community and face-to-face interactions are important for people,â the former investment banker said. âThis is right in line with that sort of experience. Helping create memories for people is a privilege and a responsibility.â
