Скачать или смотреть Building The V Spot: Service, Survival & NEPA Bars. Vinnie Archer: Ep. 081 DiMattia's Food Fight

On Episode 81 of the Food Fight Podcast, I sit down with Vinnie Archer, owner of The V Spot in Scranton, PA.

Vinnie and I talk about the origins of The V Spot, his journey through the restaurant, business, and service industry, and how a late start as a bartender unexpectedly turned into a career and ultimately a successful bar and local staple.

We get into the current state of the food and bar industry, breaking down the reality of rising food costs versus menu prices, and how business owners are forced to make tough decisions just to stay afloat. Vinnie shares real, honest insight into how these challenges affect day-to-day operations and long-term sustainability.

We also talk about being strong in NEPA, the importance of good bar food, building community, and why fair prices matter — not just for customers, but for the people behind the bar and in the kitchen.

This is a grounded, honest conversation about hard work, timing, resilience, and doing things the right way in a tough industry.
