After retiring from the US Navy, Chito Peppler returned to college to pursue an MBA. During his Entrepreneur class at the George Washington University, he developed the business plan for a FoodTech company called RUNINOut. Founding a startup is no easy walk in the park. There are many obstacles and hurdles such as generating revenue and obtaining venture capital funding. How would he gain traction and did he have an exit strategy when the going gets tough?

This book is a compilation of blog posts written by Chito from 2010-2015 which include social events and personal interactions he had with chefs, restaurateurs, entrepreneurs, and foodies. He dives into the history, the background story, and critical details that add value to the story. And it is filled with great photos showing the many interesting characters he met along the way.

This memoir is a perfect guide for aspiring entrepreneurs who have an idea and aspires to pursue their dreams. Shunned by the institutions, he launches a novel strategy to reach his goals. In so doing he discovers himself and faces some dark demons along the way.

RUNIN is not just about endurance. It's a back acronym -- Refecting, Understanding, Negotiating, Innovating and Navigating. It is the common theme of the story and describes how Chito manages his business and day-to-day living. It is an autobiography that also serves as a self-help book by telling an inspiring story filled with dramatic bumps and snags.

5.0 out of 5 stars Exciting with lots to learn about the D.C. food scene.
Reviewed in the United States on June 26, 2022

This book is an upbeat read about the travel and culinary adventures that the author has experienced over the years as a resident of the Washington D.C. region. There are many wonderful characters and exciting events described in this book. My favorite story was the chapter about a restaurant called Mio and its owner who left medical school to pursue a career as a chef. Mio restaurant specializes in traditional Puerto Rican cuisine, and although the D.C. restaurant officially closed in 2015, I discovered that they do several pop-up events including one which they had early this year in Vienna, VA. Grab this book, you won’t be disappointed!

What makes this book unique is that Chito doesn’t just talk about some of his favorite food places in D.C. and abroad; he dives into the history behind the restaurants and their owners, the background story surrounding a museum or festival, important details which bring an added value to his storytelling. I thoroughly enjoyed reading about his trip to Northern Ireland, and I also learned a lot about the sectarian conflict between the Irish Republican Army and the Irish National Liberation Army in Belfast. Also, there’s a cool limerick video he made about this trip, the link is somewhere in the book, see if you can find it:).

I knew the author from our previous restaurateur-lives. This is a really neat book, told from a wealth of life experiences. Recommend for a cold day to export you to sunnier places.
