Gary Hulett, the restaurant's vice president of operations, used his experiences from Jojutla, Mexico, to create a modern Mexican restaurant
Jo-WHAT-las? Jojutlas (ho-hoot-las) may not roll off the American tongue quite as well as some other restaurants’ names, but vice president of operations Gary Hulett prefers it that way. “People can’t pronounce it.

"If you walk into Bed …
