035: eeZ Fusion & Sushi Birkdale Village - A Conversation with Owner Alan Springate

In this episode, I have a conversation with Alan Springate. Alan is the owner of one of my favorite area restaurants, eeZ Fusion & Sushi located in Birkdale Village. Alan and I talk about his background in the restaurant business, and the winding road he took toward the concept we know now as eeZ Fusion & Sushi. The conversation reminds me of something James Clear wrote in his book, Atomic Habits: In business, and in life, it is unlikely that your actual path will match the journey you had in mind when you set out.  Enjoy!

From the  eeZ Fusion & Sushi website:

“Get ready for a modern and fresh take on the food you love. Located in the heart of Birkdale Village for well over a decade, eeZ Fusion & Sushi has long been heralded as the spot for the freshest, most creative and innovative sushi for miles around.

With just a touch of classic Asian culture, eeZ is the perfect spot for gathering with friends, a family outing or a special date night. Portions are hearty, flavors are bold and eeZ will leave you looking forward to your next visit.
