One of the best things to ever happen to a Chocolate addict who needs to lose weight was the invention of non-fat frozen yogurt.
Paul “The Lobster” Wells, once ballooned up to 295 lbs. as a radio restaurant reviewer at age 23. During his stint performing for CBS as the Morning Show (The Lobster Breakfast) on KRQR San Francisco in the late ’80s to early ’90s, he went on a weight watchers program called “inner circle” and dropped down to 178. Reza is the owner of 3 North Bay self-serve frozen yogurt stops. The one on Farmer’s Lane is close to the Maverick Media studios where Lobster now cooks up his weekly program.

Over the six-year run of the nationally syndicating the hour-long radio program, Lobster’s Rock Box, our host recorded interviews with many Bay Area music notables. He sat down with Bruce Cohn in his office at the Olive Hill Estate, and the conversation ranged from Bruce’s childhood in Sonoma thru his career as the Doobie Brothers manager To his becoming the proprietor of the BR Cohn Winery and the BR Cohn Olive Oil Company. This is the latter part of that long, insightful and fun conversation. If you listen closely, you may hear The dog tags jingle when Bruce’s four-legged companion, Moose, moved around a bit at the foot of Bruce’s desk!

The new website for our flagship station, 97.7 The River was where our Crustacean DJ saw that Sizzling Tandoor in downtown Santa Rosa had been voted the North Bay’s Best Indian Restaurant. The food and hospitality he experienced get 5 claws!

When you go to San Francisco, your Restaurant choices are many, and the convenience of one on Lombard Street right before the turn onto Doyle Drive is a good stop for North Bay residents when on a night out in The City. A bonus, is one with great, unusual food at reasonable prices and one that gives back to their community. Such is the case of the Nepalese cuisine.
Lobster asked listeners for suggestions of Restaurants to visit in Santa Rosa. An email from Paul Sullivan gave a strong recommendation to The Stout Brothers. Our intrepid Crustacean DJ visited after the Sunday Brunch one Sunday with Joey Davis and her friends. Joey’s Celtic roots were tickled by this Irish Pub and Restaurant. It was great. Thanks, Sully!
In San Francisco’s Lower Haight, there’s a popular Barbeque restaurant that serves several types of sauces at the table. It was also the perfect Restaurant to pair with the song “Memphis Soul Stew” by King Curtis backed by Booker T and the MGs. Lobster walks in off Haight Street and right up to the counter with his Flip Video camera.
We speak with Harold Rogers to find out why many people say his Restaurant in a little strip mall on Piner Road serves the best ribs in town. He and his wife Nancy opened the Red Rose Café after the bowling alley where they had a food concession closed down. Authentic Soul Food is what you’ll get from this down home spot serving breakfast, lunch and dinner.

For December 7th’s “A Taste of Hospitality, Lobster spoke with Alexandre Tsuk of My Genie In Paris who guided our Crustacean DJ, his hosts Karen and Adam Sterling and their friend Sue Stevens on a tour of a French Bakery in Paris, where they got to bake their own baguettes. Lobster shot a video of it, which will be posted soon. Here’s one you could look at that encapsulates this fun, unique behind-the-scenes experience at Miss Mason in Paris.

We take the themes of Wine, Gourmet Food and Music deeper. For the first local Restaurant added to our growing selection of interviews, We chose The Vineyards Inn, located just west of BR Cohn, on Highway 12 in Kenwood. For 25 years, they have been serving great food, and striving to be a green and organic business, which has led to an award this year as The Greenest Restaurant in the Bay Area. Paul “The Lobster” Wells chats over dinner at their Patio room at the Restaurant / Bed and Breakfast with Steve (Chef Esteban) as the meal is brought to the table. If we had video, this could be a TV show!
