Jordan shares how a restaurant career that began when he was just 15 years old eventually led him through nearly every corner of the hospitality industry. After working with several Bloomington businesses, he found a home with the Chocolate Moose, where he helped guide one of the city’s most nostalgic brands through growth, change, and expansion while preserving the sense of community that has made it a local favorite.

The conversation also explores Jordan’s role in Food Truck Friday and his work bringing Taste of Bloomington back after a lengthy hiatus. Jordan explains why the event needed more than a simple restart, how moving it to Kirkwood Avenue helped create a more accessible community celebration, and what it takes to coordinate dozens of food vendors and thousands of hungry visitors without completely losing your mind.

Jordan also discusses his podcast, No Dishes, which shines a spotlight on the owners, chefs, bartenders, servers, dishwashers, and other personalities who keep Bloomington’s restaurant industry moving. He and Andrew compare notes about podcasting, unpredictable guests, and the challenge of getting busy hospitality professionals to sit still long enough to tell their stories.

From serving ice cream and producing podcasts to organizing some of Bloomington’s largest food events, Jordan’s work is connected by a simple idea: hospitality is ultimately about creating the best part of someone’s day. Whether you love local restaurants, entrepreneurship, community events, or simply need an excuse to talk about ice cream, this episode offers a flavorful look at the person helping Bloomington gather around the table.
