Bobby Stuckey

As a founder of James Beard Foundation Award-winning and Michelin Starred Frasca Hospitality Group, Bobby Stuckey is one of the most decorated and respected operators and Master Sommeliers in the industry. A life-long hospitalian, Bobby has worked his way from busboy to award-winning restaurateur, winemaker and cookbook author. In June 2024, Bobby earned Food & Wine Magazine’s second annual Mentorship Award for his tireless work in the industry (and after the first-ever award was given to legendary chef Jacques Pepin).

When he’s not on the floor bussing tables or opening a bottle of wine, you can find him at home with his wife Danette, listening to vinyl and drinking a bottle of something great, running a marathon or advocating for a sustainable future for independent restaurateurs, their employees and communities they support as a founding member of the Independent Restaurant Coalition.
