Mexican immigrant goes from dishwasher to owner of popular Route 66-inspired BBQ diner with a unique California flair
Briefly

I came from Zacatecas in 1977. I used to work in two restaurants dishwashing, bus boy, and then I became a cook. That's how I started learning how to BBQ.
I finally got the chance to make it my way. So, for example, I have a spicy barbeque that I make with homegrown peppers, molasses, brown sugar and ketchup. That's my Tony BBQ sauce.
The interior of Jake's Roadhouse BBQ reflects its Route 66 inspiration, featuring rustic decor and a cozy, laid-back vibe reminiscent of classic roadside diners.
It soon became a destination for BBQ lovers, as well as a community hub.
