My recent review of Michael Dimmer’s restaurant included lots of salient details.

Home of Buffalo’s most delicious affordable happy hour, purveyor of Detroit-style pizza for everyone – including vegans and gluten avoiders – started with the Black Market Food Truck. Marble + Rye’s cooking is sophisticated, but the place is never stuffy. It also offers a contender for the city’s best cheeseburger, a legacy from Dimmer’s Black Market Food Truck.

With Megan Lee as general manager and Ashley North as bar manager, Marble + Rye has fine-tuned its vibe into lowkey adult hangout spot. Casual enough for cards with beers, it offers a compact menu of bespoke dishes snazzy enough for date night, and a drinks program that will leave you feeling positively coddled.

What it didn’t mention is that Dimmer has managed to help raise his son, as well. He decided that being a father mattered, too, and recalculated his restaurant to make that easier.

We’ll talk about that, and more. Playing the hand you’re dealt. How to cope with a moribund downtown nightlife. Growth in business, and in life. Here’s the link to join at 2 p.m. March 4.

The conversation will be published to the Four Bites YouTube channel, where it joins the previous seven episodes.
