Clark Staub had a completely different life before establishing Full of Life Flatbread in Los Alamos nearly two decades ago. He worked from being a humble record store clerk to becoming the Vice President of Marketing at Capitol Records — plus there was a stint in Vermont working for Burton Snowboards. But he was always really into bread, which led him to start his own place in the little-known town on California’s Central Coast. Since then, Los Alamos has become a top-flight culinary destination, with a population of just 1,600 and 12 restaurants, if you count the Subway inside the gas station. Clark talks about snowboarding, cookbooks, and Radiohead, as well as letting go of good ideas.
Note: the book Clark named his restaurant after is called Full of Life by John Fante.
