Chris Lindstrom and his core team come together to reflect on their journey with NOMINATE, a venture aimed at supporting local restaurants by offering surprise meals to customers. Over three years, they successfully served over 2,500 meals and injected more than $65,000 back into the local dining community during challenging times, particularly amid the pandemic. The discussion dives into the origins of NOMINATE, the logistical hurdles faced, and the critical lessons learned, including the importance of clear communication with restaurant partners.
