Delve into the memories, meals, and the men and women behind Fairfield's' beloved former dining spots.
Since the city's incorporation in 1903, Fairfield's restaurants have reflected the simple tastes of suburban life, serving up good food and great times at places like the Firehouse Deli-Café, the Hi-Fi Drive-In and beyond. Longtime residents knew the best Mexican food north of Tijuana could be found at Dan & Ruth's Café, and Voici, where the movers and shakers met, claimed the crown as swankiest spot in town. Smorga Bob's, the buffet-style family restaurant where locals could let their hair down and get their grub on, is missed to this day.
Join longtime Daily Republic columnist and accidental local historian Tony Wade on a delicious tour of bygone eateries.
