of the business to Joe Dishaw, another one of
Rotanz's buddies from college and professionally
trained chef. Rotanz and Dishaw quickly shifted
Mac & Bob's from sub and pub to full restaurant
style-one with a stack of high chairs in the
corner and grown-ups as patrons. They moved
locations, going from 10 stools to 36 seats. Over
time, they continued to expand on either side
and eventually, in their latest addition, onto the
back with outdoor patio dining and a fireplace.
The only thing they didn't change was the
name. Neither Dishaw nor Rotanz cared to spend
unnecessary money changing the name of their
restaurant to accurately reflect its ownership.
"Now, when Mac comes to town for alumni
events, he's like his own rock star," laughs Rotanz.
"None of the employees can believe there's a real
Mac."
In the beginning, Mac & Bob's served
breakfast, but quickly abandoned it. Three years
ago, the guys decided to try again. In preparing
for the transition, Rotanz and Dishaw did
research by dining at well-known breakfast spots
