My husband and I have found business success and a happy marriage by working together – apart. While he runs the more high profile and day-to-day operations, my duties entail the more behind the scene details that keep the bills and employees paid. I still deal with the perception that I am not a “real” restauranteur, yet my industry-specific accounting and liquor law knowledge keeps our restaurant in compliance and profitable. I think many spouses within this industry struggle with similar perceptions.

I am happier knowing that we’ve found a great way to work together by not stepping on each other’s toes. I think that Lisa and Gilbert, Kent and Tracy have found similar ways of attaining personal satisfaction, working together in a complementary fashion, not a competitive one.

having known a couple of people who have appeared on reality shows..i can honestly tell you….most of the time what you see isn’t who the “real” person is. Scenes are clipped and cut together for ratings, folks. I’m sure it would be a totally boring show if everyone appeared to be likeable…there always has to be a “villian”….right?

Have watched one episode, last night’s. Lisa Garza is the fakest person I’ve ever seen. Maybe it’s because I don’t live in her fanbase-land. And I had to laugh at her husband’s defense — obviously he had to, so he could get him some. (BTW I’m a woman). I live in southern CA — definitely not impressed by “oh, no, all over my $300 shirt and expensive shoes!” Get real. If her husband cries poverty, she should wear real clothes that reflect that, it would make her more human. But then, you see, I know this is all edited and they want her to do this, to be the fake ‘heel’ of the show. She’s hardly memorable as far as reality villains go. And notice how she’s already pimping herself out with local appearances, and will forever advertise that “I was on a reality TV show!” Whee. If this show follows formula, she’ll be around until 4th or 3rd place.

Top three so far:

1. Adam
2. Aaron
3. Lisa, who seems a likable but thoroughly ridiculous person
