ALL HEART Bruce Haller with his wife Audrey have made a mark in their town—giving back at every turn.

Community reflections Bruce Haller’s businesses serve more than food

BY KIMBERLY EWERTZ

T

he tabletops feature fresh flowers from the Demonstration Garden down the street, the walls showcase the work of local artists, and chalkboards highlight the specials of the day that came from local schools: each of these unique decorations is a reflection of the community it serves at Café 152 Bread Company.

Bruce Haller, owner of the Bread Company, as well as Café 152 Burger Co. and Café 152 Catering, incorporates local touches into each of his businesses because for Haller, “The community is a part of the restaurant.”

Haller is far from your typical business owner. He focuses on people, not profits, which is just one reason he and his wife, Audrey, who's originally from Ireland and a trained operatic singer, were presented in February at the Spice of Life Awards with the Chamber of Commerce Small Business of the Year award for 2018.

Deirdre Powers, one of the Haller’s four children feels the award was very “fitting.”

“My dad for years and years from elementary school all the way up until now, he’s always donated generously, always given back to the community, always been providing for everyone,” Powers says. ➝ 4

IN LOVE Married for 30 years, the Hallers have four daughters, 10 grandchildren, with one on the way, and a great grandchild.

“Even if that means that they don’t necessarily come up on top, as long as everybody around them that they’ve supported has been helped, he’s happy, my mom is happy.

They’ll do anything for anyone.”

Haller jokes that the reason the Chamber chose him for the award this year is, “They wanted to make sure I didn’t die first before they gave me the award,” referring to his open-heart triple bypass surgery last year.

“I think they felt sorry for me because Mark said I got it unanimously,” he says. “My wife and I felt really honored by that. It was recognition of what we’ve done over the years, but I don’t like that recognition.”

What Haller does like is seeing the kids he’s helped throughout the years moving forward with their lives.

Haller was surprised by the presentation of the award, as he actually received six.

“Four branches of the government gave us certificates,” he says.

“We got two from the Federal

government, two from the State, one from the County and one from the City.”

His plan is to display each of the certificates at his restaurants as a way of saying, ‘Thank You’, to his employees who he considers part of his family. His immediate family includes, Audrey, their four daughters, 10 grandchildren, with one on the way, and a great grandchild.

“The staff in my restaurants are also my kids,” Haller says. “And I’ve employed thousands and thousands over the years. So, I’ve touched a lot of people.”

Haller is all about helping kids.

One of his proudest achievements is the co-founding of Rebekah Children’s Services Culinary Academy.

“You’re talking about the at risk, (youth),” Haller says. “We created this program to give them a skill set. We also created this to be a forprofit entity within a non-profit organization.”

Haller’s goal was to teach the kids a skill in place of needing a handout.

“Don’t be giving them the ➝ 13

id you know that Santa Clara Valley has produced premium Rhône varietals for more than

150 years?

Four local wineries, Aver Family Vineyards, La Vie Dansante Wines, Lion Ranch Vineyards and Sarah’s Vineyard, recently launched the GSM Society to spotlight Rhônes crafted from grapes grown in Gilroy, San Martin and Morgan Hill. There’s your GSM, thanks to Carolyn Aver.

John Aver has long been a fan of Rhônes, and is thrilled to add a lovely 2016 San Benito Grenache Blanc to his lineup, which includes a lush viognier, a blend called “Hope,” and the ever popular “Family Album,” starring petite sirah and carignane.

Vigneron Jeffrey Fadness of La Vie Dansante, long admired the wines of

Tablas Creek in Paso Robles. Along with partner, Richard Bryant, and other fellow dancers on the stage of life, Fadness turns out Roussanne, a white blend called Overture, and two rosés: one of grenache and the other from mourvedre.

Kim Englehart of Lion Ranch crafts Rhônes alone from their estate ranch, including picpoul blanc, a refreshingly sassy summer white, a 2017 Lioness Rosé of grenache and cinsault, along with several blends, like Two Lions and Lion’s Share. Rhônes rule here.

Tim Slater of Sarah’s Vineyard flaunts the area’s Rhône prowess with blended beauties like jours de joie and madonne blanc, both starring roussanne, grenache blanc and picpoul blanc, with the latter adding clairette blanche.

Seniors reminisce about early working days

By CHERYL HUGUENOR

A

s I commute to work each morning I pass by a familiar fast food restaurant. When I was in high school I had a summer job at one of their southern California locations. The place will go nameless for purposes of this story, but suffice it to say that I have never eaten there again. When I cut my finger chopping tomatoes there one day, I was directed to stick my hand in the pickle barrel to stop the bleeding.

Yes, the pickles were still used on the hamburgers.

That was my first job, and I was obviously naïve about food safety issues. This month will be the occasion of high school and college graduations all over the area, and I find myself thinking about the first jobs that those graduates will soon begin. Hopefully their experiences will be more rewarding and less fraught with potential for widespread food poisoning. I asked the seniors

here at Live Oak Adult Day Services about their first jobs. Fast food restaurants did not exist in their younger years, but they did share a wide variety of early work experiences.

Millie’s first job was in the office of a silver mine. She enjoyed the work and the beautiful location in the mountains. All went well until the day the mine flooded and the water kept rising, even in the office. When water started swirling around her knees she decided it was time to bail, literally and figuratively. The office skills she learned, though, did help her in several other secretarial positions she filled, including at a college.

Antonio says he wished he could have worked in an office for his first job, because it would have been less back-breaking. His job was cutting spinach in the fields right here in the Valley of Heart’s Delight. It was hot and paid very little. His best memory of the job was the day he observed all the workers stop working, scream and yell, clap each other on the back, and celebrate with great joy. Mystified, he asked what was happening, and was told that Hitler was dead and the war was over in Europe. When asked what skills or knowledge he learned on the job, Antonio says, “I learned that I never wanted to work in the fields again.” He got training to be a welder and went on to a career that he enjoyed and that provided security for his family.

The seniors here agreed that one’s first job can be rewarding, even if it is not a high-paying job. The experience will teach the new, young graduate how to be prompt, professional, and realize that someone is counting on you.

And, please, be careful when cutting the tomatoes.

if they had any job openings. That man turned out to be the owner and he told him to grab a mop.

“We scrubbed floors for two hours,” Haller says, adding that that was the start of his 18-year career with the popular restaurant chain.

Haller quickly learned from Don Callender that business is built on product and people, a philosophy he continues to incorporate in his restaurants today.

“I can’t do all this. I create the food, that’s my skill set. I give them the opportunity,” Haller says.

Another lesson Haller learned was the importance of treating your employees’ right.

“You pick the people, and you give them the product, and you teach them the process.”

After moving on from Marie Callender’s Haller joined the famous hot dog chain, Wienerschnitzel’s.

“So, I worked for the corporate office, I was an executive for them and then I went into the franchise business,” Haller says, adding that his career with Wienerschnitzel’s lasted 25 years.

Haller and his business partner, Joe Marques, owned numerous franchises during that time but last year, after his triple bypass surgery, Haller felt it was time to slow down, just a little.

He and his partner sold their franchises allowing Haller more time to devote to his family. Haller and his wife recently celebrated the couple’s 30th wedding anniversary on March 18th. He says their relationship began with compromise.

“In the very beginning we made a decision, are we going to both work?” Haller says. “She knew I wanted to be in the restaurant business, but she also loves kids. So that allowed her to raise our children and stay home, you can’t put a price on kids.”

Audrey is quite happy with how it worked out.

“I worship the ground he walks on, we’re just so in love,” Audrey says with all sincerity and emotion.

“I was always able to stay home and look after my girls and there is no money on the face of the earth to replace that. To me that was the greatest gift, and I wouldn’t trade that for anything. I’m telling you he just was the best thing that ever happened.”

fish, give them the pole, some lines, a hook and some bait,” Haller says.

“It also builds self-confidence.

That was one of my objectives.

Learn those skills.”

During the time he created the Culinary Academy, Haller also became involved with San Jose Conservation Corps, which he continued for over 10 years.

“San Jose Conservation Corps is a unique vehicle. It gives kids in San Jose, from 17 to 27, the opportunity to get their high school diploma. These are the toughest of the toughest,” Haller says, adding that they built a kitchen at the facility and taught them how to cook, a skill they could utilize all throughout their lives.

Haller’s list of accomplishments doesn’t stop there. He has and continues to partner with Gilroy Unified School District providing bags of cookies and restaurant coupons for fundraising events.

“We do a couple thousand of those things a year,” Haller says.

“So, kids, or the organizers, have opportunities to learn and to sell.”

Haller’s also actively involved in the Rock the Mock Program where high school students have the opportunity to experience firsthand, “mock” job interviews with local businesses.

Haller provides free lunch for the volunteers who take part in the annual event.

“I want to feed those people that are giving their time.”

Haller’s chosen career is a vehicle for his giving spirit, one he utilizes in the hope he can make a difference.

“It allows me to be able to go do the type of programs like Rebekah’s, and Rock the Mock, and all the years with the schools,” Haller says.

“It gives us that opportunity so we can do a little bit of difference. If we can just change one kid.”

Haller himself was just a kid when he began his career in the restaurant business. At the age of 12 he started work as a dishwasher for an Italian restaurateur named Adrian.

“You got to learn from the Italians’,” Haller says.

Two years later, at 14, Haller walked into a Marie Callender’s and asked the man scrubbing the floors

Ana started a career in Real Estate so she could help people make their dreams of owning a home come true. Owning your own home is one of everyone’s biggest dreams! Ana gets enjoyment out of seeing dreams come true. She has been working in Real Estate since 2003, making deals throughout California.

Ana likes working with sellers because they are moving on to another adventure in their future of home buying – either upgrading or downͲ sizing. She likes working with buyers because she likes to see their reactions to the houses we look at. Ana also likes the fulfillment of making their dream of owning a home come true.

The most important thing Ana does for her clients is making herself available at all times – 7 days a week – morning, afternoon & evening.
