Part 4: When customers become friends with artist Enrico David
Listen now
Description
In Part 4, our final episode in the Towpath series, we learn what makes Lori and Laura's partnership work, and what it's been like to grow a business together for the last eleven years. Having started Towpath from scratch – with no business plan and no prior experience running their own place – Lori and Laura have had their fair share of adventures, changes and road bumps along the way. Through it all, they have found joy in lessons learned, and relish the community of people that have become part of the Towpath family. One of their dearest regulars is Turner Prize-nominated artist Enrico David, who speaks to Lori about his first grilled cheese sandwich, what attracted him to Towpath, and how he's had to step in on many a busy weekend morning to save the day!  Find out more about Enrico David's work here. Pick up their new book Towpath: Recipes & Stories from Bookshop.org or your favourite bookstore. Follow Lori De Mori on insta @towpathlolo and Laura Jackson @towpath_laurajackson. The producer is Hester Cant.
