New York Chef James Kent Brings Top-Flight Food to Santa Monica Pier | Eater LA
"Rubio’s Coastal Grill recently closed 48 California locations, citing increased costs from rising wages and food prices and saying the closures followed a review of operations; workers were not notified of the closures, the chain still operates 86 locations across California, Nevada, and Arizona, and it was founded in San Diego in 1983 by Ralph Rubio." - Matthew Kang
