MOTHER’S DAY MEETS HOSPITALITY MAGIC

SPOTLIGHT ON HOSPITALITY INDUSTRY ENTREPRENEURS —

JODY KREUSH & RICHARD KREUSH

Sunday, May 10, at 9 PM (Eastern) on AM 970: The Answer

This week’s Mother’s Day edition of Culinary Confidential turns the spotlight toward the heart of one of the Southeast’s most beloved bakery concepts: The Cinnamon Roll Deli of Columbia, South Carolina. The mother‑son team behind it, Jody Kreush and Richard Kreush, join the program to share the story of how a simple, nostalgic comfort became a nationally recognized phenomenon.

The Cinnamon Roll Deli has earned a loyal following and widespread acclaim for what many call the best cinnamon roll in the United States. But the real story reaches far beyond the product. It is a story of family, trust, and the kind of partnership that blends generations, instincts, and vision. Together, Jody and Richard have built a concept rooted in warmth, consistency, and genuine hospitality — the kind that keeps guests returning not just for the food, but for the feeling.

From long hours to big wins, from shared risks to shared purpose, their journey offers a candid look at what it takes to build a thriving brand without losing the soul that started it. This episode explores how family and business can come together — and get it right.

Hosted by Christina Cates, a hospitality professional with over 20 years of experience in New York City’s restaurant industry, Culinary Confidential spotlights the people, ideas, and innovations shaping today’s food and beverage world. Her background at Tavern on the Green, The Palm, and Almond Tribeca brings depth and perspective to every conversation.

Whether you’re an entrepreneur, a creative thinker, or simply fascinated by the stories behind enduring hospitality concepts, this episode delivers a heartfelt and insightful look at the power of family‑driven leadership.
