This candid memoir details the epic story of Scott and Nyla Wolf, founders of the wildly successful Wolfpack Restaurant Group. Not many married couples can run multiple successful restaurants together while keeping their marriage and faith strong, but Scott and Nyla Wolf are the rare exception. Two lone wolf kids, who started with nothing and defied all odds, they now celebrate 35 years in business and 40 years of marriage with the release of Wolves in the Kitchen. Their never-before-told story details the losses, challenges, mistakes, and make-or-break decisions that ultimately culminated in a legacy of love that transcends generations.
Owners of beloved restaurants and gathering places across Central Indiana, including Wolfie’s Grill, Italian House, Nyla’s, Broken Barrel, Boomerang’s, and Swanky Mule (opening in late 2024), Scott and Nyla are among the only co-owners of a restaurant group who have managed to succeed with their marriage and faith stronger than ever. This vulnerable, yet heartwarming story takes readers through the ups and downs of building Wolfpack Restaurant group from nothing, and includes more than 25 photos recounting their history in full color. Their hope is that someone somewhere will learn from their experiences that anything is possible… and sometimes, when you think you’re at the end, you’re just at a new the beginning.
