When artist and former builder Jamis MacNiven opened Buck’s, his pancake-plus restaurant in Woodside, little did he know that he would become one of Silicon Valley’s most iconic figures, calling heads of state, tech titans, celebrities and customers his friends. MacNiven, a world-class raconteur, has more stories than he has tchotchkes in the restaurant – and Buck’s regulars know that’s an impressive number. 

Some people think Jamis is just a guy in a loud shirt flitting from table to table at his legendary restaurant making casual conversation as he nails up the latest crazy artifact. But he has a serious side too ... well not so much. But he has been witness to his fair share of Silicon Valley hotshots launching the latest new thing. 

So how did Buck's come to be and more broadly, why is Silicon Valley here and not somewhere else? MacNiven will tell you and the answer may surprise you.
