Gottlieb's Bakery: Savannah's Sweetest Tradition (GA) (The History Press)
Upon graduating from Johnson & Wales in Providence, Rhode Island, chef Michael Gottlieb advanced to the Inn at Perry Cabin in St. Michaels, Maryland, and the renowned Inn at Little Washington before returning home to Savannah, Georgia. In Savannah, Michael, along with brothers Richard and chef Laurence Gottlieb, opened Gottlieb's Restaurant and Dessert Bar. The restaurant was a AAA Four Diamond establishment inspired by the Gottlieb family's famed bakery, which, for over one hundred years, was a Savannah tradition. After closing the restaurant in 2006, Michael settled in New Orleans, where he now makes his home with the Ralph Brennan Restaurant Group.
