Mr. Pete's Grill, Huntington Beach

Once a humble cashier at the Olive Tree Grill, Eleni bought his former place of employment and became the owner. He renamed the business Mr. Pete's Grill and immediately set out to diversify the menu. Eleni still serves the gyros and Greek food that people came to love, but he has included charbroiled burgers, Mexican food, and all-American breakfast items on the new menu. As for Eleni, he still works the register on occasion, enjoying the ability to get to know customers or to console a platter of eggs and sausage accidentally shaped into a frowny face.
