Jack Russell of enduring rock band Great White gets the deep dive treatment in a new autobiography written by local author K.L. Doty, “The True Tale of Mista Bone: A Rock + Roll Narrative.” 

K.L. Doty joins me in Geneva to chat about the book as we enjoy award-winning food from FoxFire Restaurant in Geneva (17 West State Street). FoxFire’s the real deal, having most recently been named 2023 Steakhouse of the Year and 2024 Best Steak in Kane County.

Owner/Chef KC Gulbro brought some of his menu into the car. I had the Certified Angus Beef Blackberry Brie Burger (Applewood smoked bacon, hoisin- blackberry jam, melted brie cheese, and pickled jalapenos on a pretzel roll). K.L. enjoyed the Avocado Salmon (Scottish salmon, tomato basil risotto with avocado pesto sauce, sliced avocado, grated pecorino, and lemon zest).

We recorded this episode on a painfully hot July day, and both my camera and phone (which manages the camera) overheated multiple times. Were it not for those issues, the conversation would likely have gone way longer. Next time!
