Passing: Bob Evans, Restauranteur With Chain Built on Sausage (NY Times)

From The New York Times:

Bob Evans, who turned a 12-stool restaurant into a nationwide chain and food empire with the help of his homemade sausage, died yesterday, Bob Evans Farm Inc. said. He was 89.

Mr. Evans got into the sausage business after struggling to find quality sausage to feed the hungry truckers who stopped at his tiny diner in Gallipolis in southeastern Ohio.
