On this week’s podcast, we’re sitting down with Sarah and Zak Baker, the husband and wife team behind Ca’Lucchenzo Pastificio & Enoteca, a West Side mecca for housemade pasta and regional Italian dishes.
During our chat, they share their culinary journeys, from inaugural jobs like Starbucks barista and Door County busser to their current roles as restaurateurs. Along the way, they share stories from their time with the Bartolotta Restaurant Group where they met, trained and fell in love; their work as consultants to revive the Pizza Man brand; and the background behind their long-held dream of owning and operating their own restaurant.
