On St. Patrick's Day 1947, a German man named Rudolph Seng bought a small Italian restaurant on a largely undeveloped East Colonial Drive. His passion for cooking would make him very popular for years to come. Two years later Al Seng moved to Orlando to work along side his dad. Al built on a meat locker, brought in beef on the hook and started the "craft" that remains today. Two men who were jewelers "watch makers by trade" had a vision and a drive to make a difference in the food industry.
