BELLEVUE, Iowa — Melissa Tott knows her way around the kitchen.

“My family’s been in the restaurant business since I was a little kid,” said the Bellevue resident. “From the time I was 9 or 10, I was helping out with dishes.”

“Whenever we had holidays, everyone would come to our house, and she would be the one cooking,” Eric said.
