How did this all come to be you might ask? Let's just say it started in the summer of 1986 when Creig Mullikin (Owner) decided to cook Italian beef sandwiches a popular dish in Chicago while his wife Pat was giving birth at home to their only child and son Jordan (Owner). With the smell of garlic, oregano and roasting beef in the air is it any surprise that their son grew to not only love Italian food but also cooking?
Later in the late 90's Creig opened his first restaurant Giorgio's of Chicago Laguna Niguel which was a fast casual restaurant featuring Chicago pizza, Chicago hot dogs and to no surprise Italian beef sandwiches. At 12 years of age Jordan worked at the restaurant taking orders, making French fries, sandwiches and whatever else needed to be done
