Back to EpisodesSecond Floor Flavor, Ground-Level Soul: John MacKinnon of Todo Bueno (All Good Grill) is Up+Adam
Description
Today in the LoBro Studios at Timbre, we’re joined by longtime restaurateur and hospitality ninja John MacKinnon, the mind and soul behind two very different but equally beloved spots on the Central Coast: Moonstone Beach Bar & Grill in Cambria and Todo Bueno at the SLO Public Market.
We talk about what it means to build something with intention. From the grind of surviving the pandemic as a restaurant owner, to the obsessive joy of layering a perfect taco or burger. John shares why quesadillas earn respect, what makes a sauce unforgettable, and why hospitality is less about service and more about heart. Plus, we dive into his “upscale fast-casual” approach at Todo Bueno, what it’s like running a second-story kitchen, and how he’s still dreaming big, one tortilla at a time.
Whether you're a foodie, a SLO local, or just someone who appreciates a great story, this one’s for you.
