After spending all day Tuesday at Restaurant Bootcamp, I needed a drink. Happily, a dozen of the city's finest mixologists quenched my thirst yesterday at the Farmers' Market Cocktail Demo.
That's right, Small Business Week and Cocktail Week are both taking place this week in San Francisco. Who says this city isn't in tune with the needs of small business owners?
Restaurant Boot Camp?
Is it worth it? Did you get a lot out of it?
Is it designed specifically for the Bay Area or would restaurateurs like yourself from other cities gain from it?

Art, yes, Restaurant Bootcamp was worth it. It was more of a well-timed refresher course for me, as I had previously attended similar seminars taught through the local chapter of the Small Business Development Corporation. Classes would be valuable to restaurateurs from other areas as well.
