Cobalt Smoke & Sea — Turning Dinner Into an Experience
This week, Luke sits down with Bernadette Faasen, owner of Cobalt Smoke & Sea, to talk about what it really takes to run a restaurant, build a loyal community, and create a dining experience that feels “worth it” every single time.
They get into:
- How Cobalt was designed to feel like an experience, not just dinner
- Balancing restaurant life with being a mom of three boys, and never missing a game
- Why the Let’s Get Cupid pop-up exists, and how it turns February into something fun
- What people misunderstand about owning a restaurant, and Bernadette’s advice for women building businesses
- Her STL favorites, from Katie’s Pizza & Pasta and Napoli to women-owned staples like Genovese Jewelers and Ju Ju Bs
