How a Husband and Wife Team Run a Two-MICHELIN-Starred Restaurant All By Themselves (and Stay Married)

"The owners of Baumé in Palo Alto, California, are the sole full-time employees at the restaurant. Bruno is the chef, prep cook, dishwasher and wine buyer. Christie is the host, server, accountant, occasional prep cook and even in-house laundry service. The only other employee is their teenage son, who helps out when he isn’t in school. Baumé entered the MICHELIN Guide San Francisco selection in 2011 with one star and obtained a second the following year, which it has kept ever since. “Each contemporary dish is refined, balanced and demonstrates an enormous attention to detail,” state MICHELIN’s anonymous troop of inspectors of the cuisine. “The kitchen focuses on seasonal ingredients and coaxing flavor to profound levels.”" - Justine Sterling
