After Hurricane Hugo, we converted what was once Tony’s Italian Food to the Golden Egg Pancake House. Tony’s Italian Food was originally known as Tony’s Pizza, and had been a popular hangout for the local high school back in the ’80s. However, with pizza becoming more popular and the big pizza chains taking off like crazy, my parents converted it to Tony’s Italian Food. But then, as pizza grew more popular, so did Italian food, and Italian restaurants started springing up everywhere. Deciding to bring something fresh to the area, my parents converted their business to a place where people could get a good breakfast at an affordable price. We believe that there are no shortcuts when it comes to great food.
