Resa Bates and Allan Bloodworth know a thing or two about running restaurants.

Bates started as a 12-year-old helping out on the farm and in her family’s famed restaurant, Bates House of Turkey, in Greenville. She continued gaining skills as a hostess, waiting tables and tending bar in Birmingham, Montgomery, Charleston, South Carolina, Wyoming and New Orleans.

Bloodworth, who is also a carpenter, had opened Montgomery restaurants over the years (Tomatino’s, the Olive Room and El Rey). Both of them learned much about the business while working for famed restaurant owners Harriet Crommelin of Kat & Harri’s and the late Bud Skinner, owner of Bud’s and Jubilee Seafood.
