## Resource

Budd Gould, the visionary founder of Anthony’s Restaurants, has died at 85, leaving behind a legacy of fresh seafood, family values, and culinary excellence. Born from a single Kirkland location in 1973, his empire now spans over two dozen restaurants across the Pacific Northwest and beyond. A Harvard MBA graduate with a quirky pet business detour, Gould stayed true to his mission—quality, local sourcing, and leadership as a guiding force. Even after stepping down as chairman, he remained deeply involved, and his daughter Amy Burns now leads the company as CEO, just as it celebrated its 50th anniversary. Beyond dining, he built a wholesale seafood business in 1984, championing local producers long before it was trendy. His philosophy? Great leaders coach, not command. His impact? Enduring—on plates, in communities, and in the hearts of those he inspired. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
