The team and I are so excited to announce that we’ll be filming at Grá!

We’d like to give a huge shout out and thank you to founder Michael McSharry for graciously allowing us to film at his gorgeous restaurant. Grá specializes in organic sourdough pizza, seasonal ferments, and boasts an incredible array of natural wines.
