Eventually, the restaurant business expanded, and the eatery began serving a variety of food to more patrons. But unfortunately, the diners began to dwindle.

So, in the meantime, Chuck, who is part owner of the restaurant, learned how to age beef to perfection. And eventually, along with his wife Pam, took a leap of faith and transformed the store into a steakhouse.
