Anthonysbarbershop

The Sac Biz Journal's Ben van der Meer reported last week that a bar/barber combo named Bottle & Barlow was coming to 12th & R, and that Hook & Ladder/Golden Bear owner Kimio Bazette was attached to the project. Now, the Sac Bee's Blair Anthony Robertson brings us more details about the venture, in a piece he wrote about a local Instagram-famous barber.

Giannotti, while still tight-lipped about the details, is preparing to launch a high-end barbershop and bar in the next six months in a new development on R Street, partnering with highly regarded bartender Jayson Wilde, manager of San Francisco cocktail destination Bourbon and Branch.

Whitney Johnson, owner of the interior design firm Johnson & Ross, which specializes in restaurants and bars, approached Giannotti about the concept and helped assemble a team to run the venture, to be called Bottle & Barlow, on the first floor of the Warehouse Artist Lofts under construction at 11th and R streets.

I've driven by that barber shop dozens of times and always wondered what the deal with it was. Thanks to Robertson's story, now I know.

‘Family meal’ feeds restaurant staff - The food for “family meal,” as it is known to industry insiders, is often very different from what the guests enjoy. It tends to be less fussy and fancy, but perhaps more purposeful. The food needs to give waiters and bussers, cooks and dishwashers the energy to power through hours of hustle and bustle without fading. If an ambitious cook is assigned to do the honors, however, he or she might venture to get creative and dazzle co-workers, thereby making an impression that might lead to advancement. Sitting down to eat these meals is also a way to foster camaraderie, catch up on gossip and perhaps talk about issues related to making the restaurant even better.
