Once many years ago I was eating in the restaurant at the main Bobs Red Mill location. They have a lovely second floor indoor balcony that looks over the main floor of the store, which provides lovely people watching while you eat. There is a piano on the second floor, which by itself is already pretty awesome. As I ate the tasty food, I thought to myself, it sure is nice to hear somebody play the piano while you eat and looked over to see who was playing. I squinted my eyes and said to myself, "That sure looks like the dude that is on every package of this store, he is even wearing the same hat". I walked over and to my delight it was indeed Bob Moore, playing the piano in his own store, wearing his trademark hat that you see on every package. I waited until he was done playing to thank him and shake his hand and tell him that it was an honor to meet him. Rest in peace, Bob.

- andscoop 3y agoMilwaukie, Oregon to be exact. It’s a fairly small city just on the edge of south Portland, but it punches above its weight class in terms of successful businesses. Bobs Red Mill, Dark Horse Comics and Dave’s Killer Bread all are headquartered here.
- schoen 3y agoDoes Dave's ever buy from Bob's? ... that seems like it would be very convenient!
- postmodest 3y agoDave's got bought by the Wonder Bread folks after Dave had a bit of an episode that shook up the company, IIRC.
- insane_dreamer 3y agoI live in Portland (though a recent transplant) and had no idea Dave's Killer Bread was here (much less Milwaukie); no wonder you find it everywhere (we buy it ourselves).
