Faz Pouroshi, of Faz Restaurants, the original opening chef of MacArthur Park Palo Alto in 1981, put his award-winning ribs on the map cooking his heart out behind the line at the restaurant.
In March of 2008 he approached Chuck Frank, one of the owners of the original restaurant to purchase the space. Frank was already on top of it and together they formed a partnership to renew, revitalize and reboot the historical landmark space.
