Though Doug Lieblich managed food and beverage services for seventeen years at Walden Country Club, he never actually cooked anything in a restaurant until he came to Yours Truly. 

He quickly mastered that skill and is admired by YT employees for his ability to stay calm in the busiest of times.  In fact, Doug’s best references are the people who worked for him over the years.   “I like the pace, the quality products and the people at Yours Truly,” says Doug. 

Doug grew up in Shaker Heights, and has been a Yours Truly patron since it opened.  “I was a regular as a teen,” shares Doug.  He also fondly remembers bringing his daughter, Jenna, to YT before Father Daughter Girl Scout dances.

Until he worked at YT, he always ordered a Bleu Cheese Burger, but now he’s expanded his palate.  “I like everything, especially the lighter dishes, like chicken and tuna salad,” says Doug.

Eagle Scout Doug enjoys camping and photography.  In fact, he often combines both hobbies on treks throughout Ohio and Pennsylvania.  “I like to see things off the beaten path,” admits Doug, who often takes along his dog, Lance. 

Joe Kotran

Native Clevelander Joe Kotran brings plenty of solid restaurant management experience with him to Yours Truly after spending over a decade at Cooker Bar and Grill and Winking Lizard. 

Yours Truly appealed to Joe because it provided a chance to be a manager in a restaurant and still have a life outside of work.  His life outside of work includes his spouse, Christine, their four daughters, and two pets.   

In addition to family activities like visiting the park or the pool in the summer, Joe likes to garden and do fix up projects around the house. 

Joe says the chicken wrap is his favorite YT item.  Aside from delicious food, Joe says the owners, fellow managers and crew members make working at YT an enjoyable place to work!
