Eric Skae: The Wannabe Double-Dipper
Rao’s was nice, but now with Carbone this “closer” has started an even fancier restaurant-based sauce business, and he’s built this one from scratch. Eric Skae’s getting attention from the national media now, amplifying the gruff but kind voice that has long preached the gospel of cost consciousness and hustle. He’s getting his due, but will he get the same kind of payout he got for Rao’s — especially with one of the potential buyers already full from his last company? Don’t bet against him.
