Twilight in Europe
Welcome to Twilight in Europe
My name is Bobby Handmaker and I have spent my career cooking food, selling food, marketing food, and consulting about food. My clients have included Starbucks, Crate and Barrel, Whole Foods, and Target. I have had the honor of cooking for a president, royalty, Oscar winners, and hall of famers from every major sport. Presently, I own and operate the iconic Cruisers Grill in Jacksonville Beach, Florida.
About a month ago, I bought a one-way plane ticket and came to Italy to learn pastry and explore. I will return just as soon as I am finished here. I hope you will join me on my journey and subscribe to my blog. Thanks a lot.
