Bill Hoppe, 1956-2010


Wilhelm Hoppe, born in Hawaii, was a graduate of Hyde Park CIA before working at several top European restaurants and hotels, and was "the first great Central Coast chef" according to a local writer. He was loved and occasionally feared by almost everyone who knew him, and he was my best friend. I'm very upset, and I don't drink alone.
