The barstools at Studio 6 have held more than guests — they’ve held stories, friendships, and soul ties we never expected. This post is about the ones who stayed with us, even after they left.

A behind-the-scenes look at the real weight of chasing a dream. Long hours, missed moments, and why we’re still all in — even when it hurts.

Studio 6 started with two kids, a kitchen, and a stubborn belief that food and hospitality still matter. No trust funds. No shortcuts. Just long nights, busted hands, and a lot of heart. We didn’t build this place to be trendy. We built it because we couldn’t imagine doing anything else.
