Besides meeting up for family functions, Bobby and Jaimie also work with their mother. Both boys followed her footsteps and work together to create cookbooks and run the family restaurant.

Jamie is a businessman, entrepreneur, and author. While Bobby hosts a cooking show and appears on cooking competition shows.
