Kimbal Musk On How Silicon Valley Taught Him To Run Restaurants And Why His Brother Elon Will Win

Starting in Boulder in 2004, Kimbal Musk has run a chain of farm-to-table restaurants called The Kitchen and Next Door. They’re in four Colorado Cities, Chicago and will open in Memphis in August. He also runs The Kitchen Community, a non-profit which has built more than 300 Learning Gardens outdoor classrooms in Colorado, southern California, Chicago and Memphis, with plans for gardens in Indianapolis and Pittsburgh. Early in his career, Musk teamed up with his billionaire brother Elon to found Zip2, a Palo Alto company that did online mapping and archived content for newspapers like the New York Times and the Boston Globe. The brothers sold Zip2 to Compaq in 1999 for $307 million. Kimbal moved to New York and went to the French Culinary Institute before relocating to Boulder where he started The Kitchen and Learning Gardens. In this edited and condensed interview, he describes what Silicon Valley taught him about how to run a restaurant.
