Bob Taft and Mike McCaffrey bought Dixie Roadhouse in Cape Coral on Sept. 18, 2025. "It's been my second home for 14 years," said Lynn Pippenger, according to Fox 4. She and her husband, David Townsend, turned this spot into a must-visit place since 2011. "The pandemic gave us permission to think about what we really wanted," Pippenger said per Cape Coral Breeze. "The legacy is really important to me, because knowing David and Lynn for 30 years... keeping this legacy alive is important to me," McCaffrey said.
