Restaurant Unstoppable with Eric Cacciatore

Carmen Toledo is the Front of House Operations Manager and 1 of 4 Co-Owners of Toledo's Mexican Restaurant in Fresno, CA. Carmen's father, Sam Toledo, immigrated to the US in the 1970s from Mexico. He started working in restaurants and eventually helped open a Mexican restaurant that he helped quickly scale to 3 locations. When he was denied equity in that business, he left to open his own restaurant, Toledo's, in 1991. Carmen is Sam's second child and she began working at the family restaurant when she was 13. She left to work at Starbuck's and gain knowledge and experience from a large, efficient franchise and returned, along with her brother, to work full time in Toledo's around 2008. There are currently 2 Toledo's locations with a third location currently being built out. The Toledo's goal is 10 restaurants in 10 years.

In the mid-'90s after being hired at Ichiban in Santa Barbara, CA, Davin Waite made the decision to drop out of college and chase his new-found passion; food. After a few years of being mentored by local legend, Chef Hiro, Waite made the move to San Diego where he weaseled his way into the kitchen of Cafe Japengo where he further refined his skills. Six years later Waite opened his first business, The Fish Joint (which later rebranded as Pickled Ginger Catering & Events) which was followed by Wrench and Rodent Seabasstropub, and The Whet Noodle all located in Oceanside, CA. 

Jessica Waite focused on nutrition in school and was training to become a physician when she realized she did not want to be a part of the modern healthcare system. She transitioned to focus on business and got her MBA in that verticle. She met Davin while working in one of his restaurants and they pivoted to open Wrench and Rodent in 2013 and The Plot in 2019.
