1 rich Libsyn https://www.libsyn.com 90 600 Seattle has a LOT of great food. And living in the Ballard neighborhood means I’m close to some of the very best restaurants in town. &amp;nbsp; We got to know Ballard-based Moshi Moshi because, to be completely honest, they were really nice to my dog, Zoey. Like, REALLY nice. &amp;nbsp; The food is also amazing, the service — well, it doesn’t get any better than the staff at Moshi Moshi. And there’s a good reason for that. Rumi Ohnui and Charlie Anthe, co-owners of Moshi Moshi, not only hire happy people, they work hard to keep them that way, prioritizing their staff even during the difficulties of COVID. &amp;nbsp; Rumi’s story of owning and running a restaurant, during a pandemic and otherwise, is fascinating and inspiring! &amp;nbsp; “Moshi moshi” is how you say “hello” in Japanese, particularly when answering the phone. Given how very welcoming this place and its team and its food are, it’s a totally appropriate name.&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; Mentioned in this podcast: book: The Reason I Jump by Naoki Higashida show: Samurai Gourmet music: &quot;Scars of Time&quot; by Yasunori Mitsuda podcast: The Hindsight Podcast by Jeannine and Jake &amp;nbsp; Audiotocracy theme music composed and performed by Darren Hart Music.
