Meet Bob Raymer

Bob Raymer

Bob Raymer, known to many as Gorilla Bob, is a beloved figure in the community. As the owner of the World Famous Gorilla Bob's, he has built a reputation for serving up some of the best food around. His establishment has earned the honor of winning the Best Hot Brown in Louisville, a incredible testament to his dedication to quality and flavor.

Bob's contributions extend beyond his restaurant. He is a proud Kentucky Colonel, an honor that reflects his ongoing service and commitment to his community. He believes in giving back, especially after the support his family received when they were in need. His sense of gratitude fuels his passion for community involvement, and he remains focused on helping others whenever possible.

With a mission to offer great-tasting food every day, Gorilla Bob is driven by his desire to see others succeed and win. Whether through his business or his personal efforts, Bob is always looking for ways to lift up those around him.

We're proud of you, Bob!
