... had only eaten at one of them, and that was a special occasion. I had to ask. “How old are you, Zach?”
“I’m twenty-eight.”
Five years younger than us and that successful? “You’re twenty-eight and own three very successful restaurants, a catering business, and the finest car I’ve ever seen. How?”
Zach chuckled. “I get that a lot, and the answer is I’ve been blessed in the brain department.”
Kim blurted, “That’s not the only place it looks like you’ve been blessed!”
He shot a grin at her before he continued. “I’ve always learned fast. I graduated from high school when I was fourteen and had my master’s in finance by sixteen. I went to France and became a chef, and along the way, I developed some ideas about how to run a fine restaurant. My parents had given me some money when I graduated high school and some more when I finished college. I invested the money and used the gains to finance my first restaurant. The first one financed the second, and so on.”
Bob nodded, impressed. “You’ve positioned yourself well for expansion. What’s your long-term growth strategy?”
Zach chuckled. “At the moment, it’s three restaurants and a catering business. I like balance in my life. I don’t want the endless workdays that too much growth brings. What I have now is successful. I have a great staff, and I pay them well. We may not be growing, but we aren’t stagnant. The business is focused on continuous improvement as part of the culture. Everyone has a voice and shares ...

Zach asked us about our lives and was enthralled with the story of the four of us. That led to the upcoming travel, which in turn led to why my lovely wife was experimenting with Zach.
Zach reached out and took Dawn’s hand. He kissed the back of it and smiled at her. “Let me assure you that you have a very willing lab rat at your service. Please feel free to experiment with me at your leisure.
“You remind me very much of my wife, Sybil. I'm sure that she would love to meet all of you. She would have been with me tonight, but she’s in France until next week.”
Dawn looked a bit crestfallen. “I didn’t know you were married. You don’t wear a ring.”
Zach rushed to reassure her. “I didn’t mean to mislead you. I spend so much time working in kitchens that I don’t wear it often. To your real point, Sybil and I play with other people on occasion. You’ve done nothing wrong, Dawn. Even if my wife disapproved, that would be on me, not you.
“I tell you what, why don’t we call her?”
Dawn looked at him in shock. “You want to call your wife?”
“Sure, it'll be fun. Give me a second to see if she’s available.”
He pulled out his cell phone and walked into the hallway. Two minutes later, he was back with his wife on speaker. She sounded lovely, and after talking with us for twenty minutes, she set a date to have dinner with us after her return. “Zach, I ...
