Episode Details

In this episode, we sit down with Jen Keenan, co-owner of Queen B Sushi and Queen B Vinyl Cafe, and Chef Brett Vibber to talk about the food, creativity, and community behind their growing collection of concepts in Cottonwood and the Verde Valley.

We dig into the brand-new Queen B Sushi, from torch salmon rolls and composed sashimi to ingredients grown on their own farm and a menu designed to be approachable whether you're a sushi fanatic or don't eat raw fish at all. Jen and Brett also share how Queen B Vinyl Cafe has become a gathering place for music, coffee, live shows, and a community that welcomes everyone.

This conversation is a look at what happens when restaurants become more than places to eat. From growing ingredients and developing young chefs to creating spaces where people genuinely feel like they belong, Jen and Brett are helping build something distinctly their own in Northern Arizona.
