Welcome to the PISO21 PODCAST.
In this episode, we dive into the story behind La Factoria, an exciting new restaurant, bar, and coffee shop in Portland founded by Jorge and Brian, built to bring food, music, and culture under one roof.

We talk openly about the struggles of entering the restaurant industry in Portland, what it takes to launch a hospitality concept in today’s climate, and why La Factoria was designed as more than just a restaurant — featuring a full sound system, lighting, and a dedicated dance floor to create a true cultural experience.

Later in the episode, we sit down with Head Chef Carlos, who shares his powerful journey from humble beginnings in Mexico to becoming an influential figure in the culinary world. Chef Carlos talks about teaching for 15 years at a gastronomy school, being a featured chef at the exclusive Dinner in the Sky experience, and helping build La Factoria from the ground up. He also shares his vision for the kitchen and what guests can expect.

This episode is about culture, perseverance, hospitality, and building something meaningful.
