15. Tom Morales on the hospitality industry, Nashville and the state of the world

Inner Mission

Getting to record this episode at Acme Radio with this guy was SO FUN! Tom is one of the coolest people I know and his care for people makes him even cooler. It’s that care and his entrepreneurial drive that has made him a local and global legend in the hospitality world, which looks quite different these days. As the owner of TomKats Catering Acme Feed & Seed and The Southern Steak & Oyster, he has an incredible story to share about where he’s been and the state of the world today. ⁣From literally running into Bear Bryant on the sidelines as an Auburn football player to being on the riders of Sarah Jessica Parker and Sandra Bullock, he has many stories to share! He has catered to the stars backstage at Starwood Amphitheater and nourished the entire cast of A League of Their Own and Groundhog Day, to name a few. His company, TomKats, became the most demanded caterer in Hollywood and has served over 3000 movies to date. Tom has opened some of the highest grossing restaurants here in Nashville and is a leader in the community with a focus on safety for his team and our city during this time and how to make the comeback we need. He is focused on preserving the history of Nashville and getting back to what makes it Music City...𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗹 𝗹𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗺𝘂𝘀𝗶𝗰 from those that have a song to sing and a dream in their heart. 🎶 I can almost hear Music City coming alive in an old-new way. Thank you for listening!!! 💡🙏🏽 ⁣
