Bobby Coyote and Mark Casale of Dos Coyotes

Today we welcome Bobby Coyote, owner of Dos Coyotes and his long-time executive chef Mark Casale. Dos Coyotes is unique in so many ways. It’s uniquely Sacramento, it blends Mexican, southwest and farm-to-fork California cuisine and it’s one of the original concepts to offer restaurant quality food that’s fresh, fast, ordered at a counter but “served on a cool plate.” Bobby tells the harrowing story of trying to open his first location. Everything went wrong, from his contractor having to stop work because he was in deep with the IRS, pipes bursting on the roof during the final inspection and the whole place almost burning down during an impromptu soft opening.  Mark grew up making fresh bread and pasta with his Sicilian grandmother and ended up working in fine dining spots in Napa and Sacramento before taking the opportunity to work with Bobby to create fresh, seasonal specials and a menu that could be replicated across several locations.  Links:  Dos Coyotes website Dos Coyotes Instagram Dos Coyotes Facebook   Visit the podcast website at dineonesix.com Follow me on Twitter and Instagram Comments, questions or suggestions?
