Mike Rohrbach was working away as co-owner of Flying Burrito and had no plans to open an authentic Italian restaurant. Enter his food salesman Keith Burmylo, who had different plans for himself and Rohrbach... You’ll hear how that materialized... it wasn’t quick...
And how about Executive Chef John Harpool? He got into food almost accidentally when he was back home one summer break from the U of A. You’ll hear what prompted him. Incidentally, it made him a VERY popular roommate back in college... You’ll hear about his first food job and what propelled him into being the top dog in the kitchen AND front of house at Bocca.
