“I wouldn’t be where I am today if it hadn’t been for that DUI.”
 In today’s episode of Say Grace, Jon Murray shares the moment that forced him to take a hard look at his life—and the honest conversation with Steve Palmer that helped change his trajectory. At the time, Jon was a rising executive at The Indigo Road.
 Today, he’s the founder of Noko, one of America’s most celebrated new restaurants, named a top dining destination by Eater and OpenTable, and Kase, a 14-seat omakase bar known for one of the most coveted reservations in the country.
 Jon talks openly about recovery, accountability, and how vulnerability shaped his leadership—ultimately fueling the people-first culture that defines his restaurants today.
 A raw, inspiring episode with one of hospitality’s most intentional voices.
