Ep. 2 - Navigating the Tides of Bentonville's Seafood Scene with Barry Furuseth

The B Team Podcast

Join us on a flavorful expedition as we sit down with Barry, the seafood connoisseur of Northwest Arkansas, who's turning the tides on how landlocked states like ours can serve up oceanic treasures. It's a full house with my co-host Matt Marrs, our cherished 'permanent guest' Rob Nelson, and myself, Josh Saffran, bringing you a blend of humor and culinary wizardry straight from Bentonville.
In this revelatory session, Barry pulls back the curtain on his restaurant Blu seafoods mastery—from royal red prawns that rival the taste of lobster to handcrafted, bourbon-infused gravlax. We'll take your palate on a tour, dishing out tales of smoked salmon that'll satisfy your sweet tooth and diving into the exciting renovations and offerings on the horizon. And if you're not drooling yet, wait until you hear about our new venture, destined to become Bentonville's pinnacle of modern Asian fusion cuisine.
But that's not all. We also set sail into the future of Bentonville's culinary landscape, forecasting the swell of seafood's popularity and discussing our strategies for navigating the waves of multiple restaurant management. With the unveiling of our very own sake brand, Latitude 35, and the buzz of new developments around Bentonville Square, we're charting a course for an epicurean evolution you won't want to miss. So, tune in and join us for a banquet of laughter, learning, and a sneak peek at the bountiful feast Bentonville has in store.
