"I have three very different restaurants, and find that the basic truths of Marya's Tips apply equally well
at each location. Since I travel often I'm a solo diner myself, so I can see the value of her advice from the other
direction."

A judge for the past ten years for the Los Angeles. International Wine Competition, one of the oldest in the
country, Mark has appeared on "Good Morning America," the "Today Show," Fox and Lifetime networks,
and several Food Network programs. In September 2007 Mark's "cuisine reigned supreme" in his battle with
Iron Chef Cat Cora on "Iron Chef America.".

while offering the 'solo woman traveler' a comfortable, fun and safe environment."

industry will benefit. People are discovering that dining at Rockenwägner on Stämmtisch (community table)
night is like dining out with friends and feeling 'good' about asking for separate checks."

solo diners are welcome at the bar for lunch or dinner, and are also seated at 'Gordon's Table' where they are
encouraged to exchange business cards (and introduced by the staff), and CAFE GORDON have long found catering to
solo diners to be an important aspect of special customer service."
Gordon Sinclair, Owner - GORDON, CAFE GORDON - Chicago, Illinois
