John Giragos passed away today. He has been an icon at the Lake Worth beach since 1973.
John G's Restaurant has been serving the public for all these years, with it opened 7 days a week, 8 hours a day. When John was younger and active in his restaurant, he used to buy his produce at our local Publix buying fresh vegetables and fruits. Everything was fresh daily and he kept his prices affordable throughout the years building up a tremendous reputation for great food and friendly service. People literally came from all over the world to his beach restaurant for breakfast and lunch. I remember the day when I was in San Francisco and got in a conversation with a woman about Lake Worth. She asked me if I had ever been to John G's.
Deepest sympathies are extended to the Giragos family especially Keith, Jay and Wendy. We sure will miss your Dad.

ReplyDeleteJohn G of the famous restaurant bearing his name on Lake Worth Beach died of a massive brain stroke yesterday afternoon. Being up there for 25 years I have seen many things come and go. This is the end of another era at Lake Worth Beach.
