GDP - JAY AND GINO, RESTAURANT OWNERS
http://gdp.nfb.ca
In 1993, Jay and Gino - young pups in their early twenties - opened their first café, winning Windsor’s young entrepreneur’s award of excellence. They went on to operate a nightclub, a pizzeria, and most recently - an elegant eatery in the heart of Windsor’s Little Italy. There was a time where you had to jostle for a table at their restaurant. But the mother of all recessions has sent a chill along Erie Street.
It’s a tough time to be running a fancy restaurant in Windsor. In a town built around the automobile industry, the crisis has hit particularly hard. The downturn calls for a new set of recipes. Gino and Jay get creative and cook up a plan.
