Kitchen Convos Podcast Ep. 46: Ronda Breeden

Can I just tell you that these conversations FILL MY CUP?
I just love talking to folks and hearing their stories of why they do what they do. I love when they dig deep into the trials and JOYS of business. I love hosting these conversations because women like Ronda share their determination and learnings.

Arnold’s is the oldest continuously operating bar in Cincinnati with more than 150 years under their belt.  I mean you guys- COME ON!
There’s some major history there. They also just hired a new executive chef and over all kick ass woman, Kayla Robinson, who overhauled the menu while keeping fan favorites!

In this episode you will hear about more about Ronda, who was at one time a server at Arnolds. You will hear about how she risked it all, how she persisted when times got tough and a bit about a very special holiday misfits event she is very excited to having coming back to Arnold’s!

Ronda spoke after we were done recording she said “Oh, Rachel, I forgot to talk about…Faith” She talked about how faith has gotten her here and how it has helped her support a son in sobriety.  When she didn’t think the restaurant was going to make it or when or wondered if the risk she was taking was worth it, faith got Ronda through it all.

So tune into this week’s episode. Listen to her talk about her journey of taking over an iconic Cincinnati institution.
