John's Grill, San Francisco CA
Nestled in a building two blocks from Union Square and not far from San Francisco's big convention center and major hotels, John's Grill has been hosting celebrities from all over the world for more than 100 years. It was created in 1908, only two
[+]years after San Francisco's devastating earthquake. Indeed, John's Grill was the first downtown restaurant to open after the quake. It quickly became a bustling anchor in the city's multi-faceted life – hosting a beguiling and lively mixture of politicians, cops, journalists, entertainers, lawyers, business leaders and the just plain curious who wanted to join in the fun, all while eating some of the best food on the west coast. From the time when San Francisco was rebuilding itself and becoming the financial capital of the western United States, on through World War II (the city was the major embarkation point for troops heading to war in the Pacific) and into the heady hippie days of the Sixties and beyond, John's Grill was – and still is – the downtown gathering place for those who ran the town and those who wanted to run the town.
Inside, todays customers will find period furnishing and dark paneled walls framed with hundreds of photos of movers and shakers (and a sprinkling of the not-quite movers and shakers), most of them from the San Francisco Bay Area, but several from the world of state and national politics. On the robust menus, diners have their choice of great steaks, fresh seafood and a variety of salads and try the famed seafood combo salad named for fitness guru Jack LaLanne. [-]

Mr. Pickles Sandwich Shop - Rancho Cordova CA, 95670
Mr. Pickle's Sandwich Shop - Natomas, Sacramento CA 95834
It all started in 1975 at King Plaza Deli in Daly City, California. King Plaza was a regular hang out for Frank and his friends. Through his personality and sharp
[+]wit, Frank was able to negotiate his first job, at the deli, cleaning tables and sweeping floors for $3.00 a day, at the age of eight. He continued to move up the ranks eventually working each and every position in the deli. Frank demonstrated his commitment to the job staying with King Plaza until he started high school at the age of fourteen.
In the meantime, Frank studied hard, knowing that one day he wanted to own his own deli. At sixteen, Frank began working in a local pizza parlor. He worked at a couple of local parlors over the next few years, increasing his experience in the food and service industry.
During these years of servicing the public Frank understood what people were looking for in a product and what they demanded in service. Frank opened his first Mr. Pickle's in 1995, in San Mateo, California. Mr. Pickle's took San Mateo by storm. Frank engaged the local high schools in naming sandwiches and participating in one of the first Mr. Pickle's TV commercials. The local kids were devoted to Mr. Pickle's and were considered “regulars.â€
The community loved Frank and his team. The line out the door proved it daily. After a couple of years, the demand to spread the ‘pickle love encouraged Frank to open up another shop. The reputation of Mr. Pickle's spread like wildfire. Everyone loved Mr. Pickle's and if they hadn't tried it, they surely had heard about it.
To date, Frank has opened numerous shops and his reputation has remained the same in every community.
FRANK F. FAGUNDES
FOUNDER, FRANCHISE DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR
Frank Fagundes has twenty-five+ years of experience in the food service industry. He is an energetic, highly motivated individual, originally from Daly City, California. He took his convictions of hard work, discipline, and commitment and applied it to the first Mr. Pickle's Sandwich Shop opened in 1994. He formulated his system through his years of experiences as a customer, as an employee, and a manager, and then applied that system to his own shop, which catapulted the original shop to be the choice Sandwich spot in San Mateo County.
Franksâ concept of a quick service Sandwich Shop with a fun, upbeat atmosphere, using high quality ingredients hit the mark. Mr. Pickle's popularity with customers and franchise owners continues to soar. [-]

Pier Market Seafood Restaurant: A San Francisco Icon with a Story to Tell
Nestled along the bustling
[+]Fisherman’s Wharf in San Francisco, Pier Market Seafood Restaurant is a family-owned icon that has been serving the freshest mesquite grilled seafood to locals and visitors for over four decades. With its stunning views of the Bay, the Golden Gate Bridge, and Alcatraz Island, Pier Market is more than just one of the many PIER 39 restaurants; it’s a true San Francisco experience.
The Pier Market story begins with the Simmons family. The patriarch, Warren Simmons had a dream to create a place for people from all over the globe to gather, mingle, and visit with the locals. Warren turned his dream into a reality when he conceptualized and created the famous landmark: PIER 39. Warren’s son, Scooter, and Scooter’s wife, Nancy, came to manage and operate several restaurants on the PIER. Today, over 40 years later, Warren’s son, Scooter, and his family continue to own and operate the most successful Fisherman’s Wharf restaurants, including Pier Market Seafood Restaurant... [-]
