This video profiles Rival Bros. Coffee in Philadelphia, founded by long-time best friends Chef Jonathan Adams and coffee roaster Damian Pileggi. It explores their journey from starting out in the hospitality industry, launching as a mobile coffee truck in 2011, and eventually expanding to multiple brick-and-mortar locations including their high-end cocktail bar and restaurant project, Enswell.
Inside this video
From CBS News:
“We both gravitated towards hospitality and restaurants and then ever since then it's we've been finishing each other's sentences here and there.”
“Andrew's take on on his approach to food is there's a high-low approach to food it where some of it is really high-end but then very deceivingly simple.”
“We always knew in some way we would be working together so it was like just a matter of time and it just kind of worked out.”
