Even Joanne Chang Gets the Blues

Remember how we told you that anyone crazy enough to open a restaurant should prepare for plenty of stress and loneliness? Seems the phenomenon affected even unflappably happy Joanne Chang. Sure, her Flour bakeries are hugely successful now. But even she had moments of doubt. Recounting a talk she gave about baking and business at Bryant University, she Tweeted: “Great talk w budding entrepreneurs at Bryant U. Forgot to tell them that entire 1st yr of Flour I wanted to sell it. Lesson: never give up.” [Jbchang/Twitter]
