  • Second Floor Flavor, Ground-Level Soul: John MacKinnon of Todo Bueno (All Good Grill) is Up+Adam

    Second Floor Flavor, Ground-Level Soul: John MacKinnon of Todo Bueno (All Good Grill) is Up+Adam
    Jun 18 2025

    Today in the LoBro Studios at Timbre, we’re joined by longtime restaurateur and hospitality ninja John MacKinnon, the mind and soul behind two very different but equally beloved spots on the Central Coast: Moonstone Beach Bar & Grill in Cambria and Todo Bueno at the SLO Public Market.

    We talk about what it means to build something with intention. From the grind of surviving the pandemic as a restaurant owner, to the obsessive joy of layering a perfect taco or burger. John shares why quesadillas earn respect, what makes a sauce unforgettable, and why hospitality is less about service and more about heart. Plus, we dive into his “upscale fast-casual” approach at Todo Bueno, what it’s like running a second-story kitchen, and how he’s still dreaming big, one tortilla at a time.

    Whether you're a foodie, a SLO local, or just someone who appreciates a great story, this one’s for you.

    She Solved a Murder Online. Then Went to Work. The Ladies Behind True Crime Tonight (and Don't F**k with Cats) #TrueCrimeTuesday
    Jun 17 2025

    Today on Up+Adam, Adam chats with Courtney Armstrong and Baudi Moovan, co-hosts of the nightly iHeartRadio podcast True Crime Tonight. Courtney has spent years inside the darkest corners of America’s most haunting cases, from the Piketon massacre to justice with Nancy Grace.

    Baudi became a household name after helping crack a murder case online, her story told in Netflix’s Don’t F**k With Cats. Together, they navigate the chaos of true crime headlines, digital manhunts, and human heartbreak five nights a week. In this episode, they talk about the cases that keep them up, the rituals that bring them back to themselves, and the line they refuse to cross when telling someone’s worst day. It’s fast, fearless, and unforgettable.
