Queer SLO recently sat down with San Luis Obispo restauranteur and all-around beautiful human, Robin Covey, the creative mastermind behind Robin’s Restaurant in Cambria and San Luis Obispo’s Novo, Luna Red, Mint + Craft and Cafe Fiero. Robin walked us through his global inspirations, commitment to local farmers’ produce, coming out in SLO, the importance of LGBTQ+ support groups, and much more. If you take away nothing else from this fascinating, behind-the-scenes exchange with such a treasured member of our local LGBTQ+ community, remember, accept others and try the paella.
