Rehoboth Foodie

In the 1940s and early '50s, the building at 329 Savannah Road was, in fact, a filling station. The progression of years saw a dry cleaner, a florist and a host of restaurants. Apparently the various eateries had one thing in common: They all served breakfast.

Almost 25 years ago, Maria and Jesús Ramirez left their oil company jobs in Mexico (Jesús on an offshore rig, Maria in the office and also teaching 7th and 8th grade mathematics) to find their dream in the United States.

By 1973, the operation had
