BOBBY TAYLOR

* You don't have to live in New York to make a nice living as a waiter. Not if you're good at it.

Knoxville native Bobby Taylor has spent his entire career serving at local restaurants.

He's been at Naples for 13 years and is the popular restaurant's most-requested server.

"People write letters to tell us about their positive experience with Bobby," says Naples manager Kelly Campbell.
