Over the last 10 years, George & Suzie have bought several restaurants, some they've kept, some they've sold, but one concept is here to stay, South Pine Café. Their idea was to create a restaurant that would appeal to any type of clientele, from the biscuit and gravy connoisseur to the vegan, and anyone in between; the result is an eclectic array of specialty items that attract a very diverse mix of diners. With 10 years of testing, adjusting, changing, tweaking and perfecting, they've built two thriving South Pine Café locations in Grass Valley and Nevada City.
