ORIGINAL RED ONION

If you include his great-grandmother, Catalina Castillo, who ran a dining counter for the miners and cowhands of the Sonora-Arizona border at the turn of the 20th century, Jeff Earle's family has been in the restaurant business for four generations. A series of hard-luck diners and lunch counters eventually evolved into the first Red Onion Restaurant, which open in Inglewood in 1949. In this 19-seat diner, Jeff's grandfather, Harry, his father, Bart, and uncle, Don Earle, used grandma Catalina's recipes to perfect a cuisine that became a mainstay in Southern California life for the next 50 years... The Red Onion in Rolling Hills Estates is a Mexican restaurant that offers a wide variety of fresh salads, steaks, seafood, sandwiches and breakfast items.
