In an entertaining "behind the scenes" video to which restaurateurs — and anyone who's ever dealt with contractors — should be able to relate, the always-charismatic Tyler Florence and his wife Tolan discuss the entire process of creating their (now open) kitchen store in Mill Valley, how he takes conference calls on the sidewalk in front of the big "Tyler Florence" sign, and the good cop/bad cop dynamic they've taken on. Says TyFlo: "When you're this deep with a contractor, they've got ya or they've got ya. It's either with a baseball bat or with honey but one way, we've gotta get the place built." [FNA]
