Inside Twoheys: The Story Behind An 80-Year-Old Restaurant Rayo Vallecano [sW89XOGjpjI]

Twohey's has been a Southern California tradition for more than 80 years, serving generations of families with legendary comfort food and unforgettable memories.

In this episode of Jason Backstage, I sit down with co-owner Tanya to hear the incredible story of how her family took over Twohey's in 1997, fiorentina vs genoa the responsibility of preserving one of the San Gabriel Valley's most beloved restaurants, and what it takes to keep an iconic local institution thriving.

From the origins of the famous Stinko Burger and Bittersweet Sundae to the difficult move from Alhambra to South Pasadena, Tanya shares the history, challenges, and heart behind a restaurant that has become part of so many people's lives.

After the interview, I also sample some of Twohey's signature dishes, including the Stinko Burger, hand-breaded onion rings, California Omelet, Steak Frites, Monday Fried Chicken Feast, calamari, and of course, the famous Bittersweet Sundae.
