<p>A San Diego classic with an 87-year story: today I’m walking through the Chicken Pie Shop in North Park with General Manager and co-owner Lisa Townsend.</p><p>In this episode, Lisa shares how the restaurant started in 1938 in downtown San Diego, moved through Hillcrest, and landed in North Park in 1992, plus why they’ve resisted trends to stay true to the restaurant's history. We talk about leading as a woman in the food industry, how they pivoted during COVID, why the regulars are truly the “bread and butter,” and we go behind the scenes to see how the pies are made.</p><p>If you’re in San Diego, you MUST add Chicken Pie Shop to your list of places to try! <a href="https://chickenpieshops.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">https://chickenpieshops.com/</a></p><p>✨ Follow us on Instagram & TikTok → <a href="https://linktr.ee/mptrpodcast" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">https://linktr.ee/mptrpodcast</a></p><p>🎙️ Subscribe for more faith-filled, uplifting content!</p><p>💬 Subscribe to the MPTR newsletter to get early access to episodes! <a href="https://www.aquirozmedia.com/mptr-newsletter">https://www.aquirozmedia.com/mptr-newsletter</a></p><p><br></p>
