Join cohosts Vallery and Ethan for a conversation with Flip Biddelman, Partner and General Manager at Gertie, a nostalgic Brooklyn restuarant. Born and raised in NYC, Flip spent his childhood singing the praises of institutions like Grays Papaya and H&H bagels to all of his out of town friends. Flip has worked in several different fields throughout his career including work for two non-profits in South Africa and Brooklyn, teaching, and advertising. Alongside current Gertie partner, Will Edwards, he co-founded Pestle & Mortar, a catering business and market stall at Smorgasburg. Through Will, Flip met Nate Adler and began working as a server and later Assistant General Manager at Huertas. While at Huertas, Flip worked with Nate and Will on conception and buildout of Gertie. He is currently the General Manager and a Partner at Gertie.
