Los Angeles, 1941. Young Carl N. Karcher and his wife, Margaret, make a leap of faith and borrow $311 on their Plymouth automobile, add $15 in savings and purchase a hot dog cart.

The brand continues its growth with an emphasis on quality, service and cleanliness, pioneering concepts such as partial table service and self-serve beverage bars. The introduction of the signature Six Dollar Burger™ in 2001 marks the latest Carl’s Jr.® advance in the quick-service industry, confirming the chain’s constant emphasis on product innovation and representing a desire to satisfy the tastes of young, hungry consumers. On his first day in the fast-food business, Carl N. Karcher took in $14.75.

It all started in 1946, when Truett Cathy opened his first restaurant, Dwarf Grill, in Hapeville, Georgia. Credited with inventing Chick-fil-A’s boneless breast of chicken sandwich, Mr. Cathy founded Chick-fil-A, Inc. in the early 1960s and pioneered the establishment of restaurants in shopping malls with the opening of the first Chick-fil-A Restaurant at a mall in suburban Atlanta in 1967. Since then, Chick-fil-A has steadily grown to become the second largest quick-service chicken restaurant chain in the United States, with over 1,700 locations in 39 states and Washington, D.C. In 2012, annual sales were over $4.6 billion. Chick-fil-A is still privately held and family owned. With 45 consecutive years of positive sales growth, Chick-fil-A has set itself apart by pioneering innovations and delicious products—including the ever-popular Chick-fil-A® Chicken Sandwich.

When Chipotle (pronounced chi-POAT-lay) opened its first store in 1993, the idea was simple: demonstrate that food served fast didn’t have to be a “fast-food” experience. We use high-quality raw ingredients, classic cooking methods and distinctive interior design–features that are more frequently found in the world of fine dining. When we opened, there wasn’t an industry category to describe what we were doing. Some 16 years and more than 900 restaurants later, we compete in a category of dining now called “fast-casual,” the fastest growing segment of the restaurant industry, where customers expect food quality that’s more in line with full-service restaurants, coupled with the speed and convenience of fast food. We try to do a few things really well. We elevate basic raw ingredients into food that’s richer and more sophisticated through our recipes and cooking techniques. Similarly, our restaurant design transforms simple materials in distinctive ways, giving our restaurants a style that’s more architectural in nature and less dependent on standardized design elements.  

Enjoy favorites like pizza, pasta, seafood and salads in this fun, casual setting. Our heated terrace looks out over the Coliseum Pool, golf courses and the ocean beyond.

In 1917, 15-year-old Ray Kroc lied about his age to join the Red Cross as an ambulance driver, but the war ended before his training finished. He then worked as a piano player, a paper cup salesman and a multi-mixer salesman. In 1954 he was surprised by a huge order for 8 multi-mixers from a restaurant in San Bernardino, California. There he found a small but successful restaurant run by brothers Dick and Mac McDonald, and was stunned by the effectiveness of their operation.  They produced a limited menu, concentrating on just a few items—burgers, fries and beverages—which allowed them to focus on quality at every step.

Back in 1965, Fred DeLuca set out to fulfill his dream of becoming a medical doctor. Searching for a way to help pay for his education, a family friend suggested he open a submarine sandwich shop. With a loan of $1,000, the friend—Dr. Peter Buck—offered to become Fred’s partner, and a business relationship was forged that would change the landscape of the fast food industry. The first store was opened in Bridgeport, Connecticut in August, 1965. Then, they set a goal of having 32 stores opened in 10 years.

The property that is now occupied by Woody’s Wharf was owned by Woody Payne, a longtime local fisherman. Until the early 6o’s he used the property to store and repair boats from the local fishing fleet. Woody decided to open a small local watering hole where the other fisherman could gather to tell their fishing tales. Woodys Wharf opened in 1965 and was an immediate hit. It’s unique waterfront location on Newport Bay drew crowds who wanted to be served food & drink in an atmosphere that included live music. Past patrons at Woody’s Wharf have included famous celebrities & athletes such as John Wayne, Cary Grant, Humphrey Bogart, Mickey Mantle and Billy Martin. One celebrity enjoyed Woody’s Wharf enough to buy the business. Actor and Karate champion Chuck Norris took over Woody’s and was able to hire some of the athletes that were training under him at the time. Among the doormen working at Woody’s for Chuck Norris included Jean-Claude Van Damme. Today, Woody’s is owned by 4 partners: Greg, Chris, Ralph & Mark who have been friends for 30 years since growing up in Whittier, California. Happy Hour  

Yard House is the creation of founder and entrepreneur Steele Platt, who came up with the concept shortly after relocating from Denver, Colorado to Southern California in the early 1990s. Platt, along with partners Harald Herrmann and Carlito Jocson, wanted to create a restaurant that would offer one of the largest selections of draft beers, a diverse menu of American fare, and play a heady selection of classic rock music on a state-of-the-art sound system. On December 7, 1996, the flagship Yard House opened along the Long Beach waterfront in Southern California.
