In this episode, we sit down with Dean Thomas, founder of Cornish Pasty Co., recorded in the cozy downstairs bar of the downtown Phoenix location. Dean shares the journey of bringing traditional Cornish pasties to Arizona—starting with a single Tempe shop 20 years ago and growing into a staple. From early doubts about whether anyone would even know what a pasty was, to creating a brand rooted in heritage, community, and comfort food.
