Shortly after taking his first restaurant job in his late teens, Ron Eyester developed a “sixth sense” that he was headed for a career in the restaurant business. Although he was initially captivated by the intoxicating intensity and provocative nature of the restaurant business, he most certainly would have never been able to anticipate the “long strange trip” the restaurant industry has taken him on over the course of the past 13 years. According to Eyester, the restaurant business is like a sick addiction; once you get in, it’s nearly impossible to get out.
