Cooking with Robert St. John: Bakery fest 2022 | Lifestyles

Some men dream of playing the back nine at Pebble Beach. Others dream of bagging that big buck or landing a record snapper. I dream of restaurants.

 Restaurants are my livelihood, though restaurants are also my hobby. It’s been that way since I entered this business 40 years ago. Seemingly from the first shift on the first day at the first restaurant, I was hooked. I spent all my spare time studying restaurants in trade magazines at the library and spent all my spare money — to the extent that there was any — dining out and trying to absorb everything I could about this industry. Nothing much has changed in the past 40 years.
