Bruce lived with the Chow's and worked as a busboy when he first moved to Seattle. One of Bruce's early training locations, the first of what could loosely be called a "school", was in a First Hill parking garage across the street from Ruby Chow's. The restaurant, originally located on this corner, has long been demolished, and the First Hill parking garage is now part of the Swedish Hospital Complex.
