"Every good restaurateur is a student of the game"

Kenneth Cribb is one of the owners of Willy Taco in Spartanburg, S.C. and he's one of the hardest working owners I've ever come across. I had the honor filming him for our video series, and he worked his tail off all day, from bussing tables to filling water glasses to running food to coaching his team members to a dozen other things, and he did it with genuine passion and enthusiasm. In this interview, we talk about his leadership style, working in the business and on the business, why being closed on Mondays is important to Willy Taco's success, the market research he and his four partners did, the balance of veteran wisdom and youthful energy he and his partners share, and why he views snow days as a win for his restaurant. Enjoy...
