Opis

Buddy Kring and LN Dale were living comfortable lives raising their seven children in foodie centric Boulder, Colorado. Dale worked as a naturopath, and Kring was a stay-at-home dad. When presented with the opportunity to change their lives they tentatively stepped into the new adventure, creating Burnt Toast Restaurant. In this new memoir, Kring shares the struggles the couple endured and how their family and community worked to make something that was more than the small business they had envisioned. Kring discusses

• How he and his partner gave up the comfortable life they knew in exchange for the unknown,
• the challenges of turning a storefront in a ninety-year-old building into a restaurant,
• the way the couple integrated their own identity into the restaurant,
• the characters they encountered,
• the community they discovered,
• the balance between home life and work life,
• the joy of owning your own business, and
• all the surprises, both good and bad

Kring and Dale fought convention to create the kind of restaurant they would want to visit, and discovered a community that longed for the same thing. Their restaurant became a fixture in Boulder and it inspired the Burnt Toast Cafe on the hit TV show Heroes.
