In this flavorful episode, Bob and Alice take us on a delicious journey through the rich history of one of Southern California’s most iconic family-run restaurants, The Original Red Onion in Palos Verdes.
What began with Catalina Castillo’s humble Sonora-style recipes in a small Arizona mining town over a century ago has evolved into a beloved local institution that’s fed generations of families. From Catalina’s cooking to her great-grandson Jeff Earle’s leadership, this is a story of resilience, tradition, and community.
Join us as we dish on:
- The Earle family’s four-generation culinary legacy
- Jeff Earle’s incredible journey, from dishwasher to owner, with stops at the Reagan campaign and state politics
- The restaurant’s signature dishes like Carne Ortega and Chicken Mole
- How the Red Onion has built a team that feels more like family
- Why this restaurant is more than just a place to eat, it’s a living time capsule and a beacon of community
If you're craving authentic food, heartwarming history, and a reminder of what makes a local business truly special, this one’s for you.
