Half and half retirements spark Bellflower dining scene
Charlie Houckle and Mona sold their restaurant on Atlantic Avenue last June and now run Charlie's on Santa Fe Avenue with Banker's Hours. They report a slower pace, breakfasts and lunches, and travel costs as they balance work and leisure. The column also highlights Moon Garden in Bellflower, Victor Hugo, Jolly Knight, di Piazza, Bryan's Buffet, and Carl Jr.'s, noting menus, prices, and new ownership.
