In this episode of Restaurant Leaders Unplugged, I sit down with Bob Sambol, founder of Bob’s Steak & Chop House, to unpack his remarkable journey from working in his father’s bar to running one of the most respected steakhouses in the country. Bob shares hard-won lessons on leadership, building a loyal team, scaling with consistency, and the simple business philosophy that’s kept him thriving for over 30 years.
If you’re a restaurant operator or aspiring entrepreneur, you’ll walk away with strategies you can apply today to grow your business, inspire your team, and deliver a guest experience that stands the test of time.
