We came up with the idea few years back when I was surfing and couldn’t really find anything fresh and healthy to eat that was affordable and quick after surfing. I asked my mom to come up some homemade sauces to go with fresh veggies and proteins. Once we had the recipes, we wanted the restaurant to be part of a welcoming community. It took two years but we agreed Long Beach — especially Bixby Knolls — would be a perfect location to serve our food.”
