Bob Borochoff - Cafe Adobe

So, you wanna get into the restaurant business? Better listen to Russ’ interview with Bob Borochoff, owner and CEO of Café Adobe. Borochoff was barely in his teens when he was bitten by the entrepreneur bug and has been a mover-shaker businessman since. He has booked rock concerts and catered political conventions.
