Here’s the Scoop from the Gabby Gourmet Restaurant Show on Saturday, July 30, 2011.
We were in the studio and my guests were the wine guys—Ben Weinberg and Rich Mauro. We had a guest visit from Mike and Starr Rothberg, owners of the new Wild Egg which will open next week. It is on Alameda and Grant. It is a national chain.
The question of the day: How many eggs have they sold at Wild Eggs since 2007 in Louisville where they have 3 stores. This is the first restaurant out of Kentucky-
Answer: two million.
