In this episode, Mark Baratto sits down with Chef Ricard of the Lola's Bistro, when they first opened. This is one of our favorite restaurants and continues to be one of the best on the island 5 years later.

We talked about how he got started, working with some of the top French and Italian chefs, why he chose to only have 9 tables, and how he loves chatting up his customers as he cooks right in the corner of the restaurant.
