The winning bidder will be treated to dinner ($80 gift card) at the famous Vince's Spaghetti in Ontario, the original dining establishment still run by the Cuccia Family since 1945.
When Vince's Spaghetti first opened in Ontario, California in September 1945; it was a simple, six stool, open air restaurant without a kitchen. Back then, Grandma Rose prepared all of the food in her kitchen 50 yards away and hand carried it to the customers. It was located on Highway 70-99, which was the main road to Palm Springs at the time. The business was run by three brothers and their wives. By 1968, Vince's was billed as the largest spaghetti restaurant west of the Mississippi River (with a kitchen!), seating more than 400 people. Today, because of your patronage, we've grown to 3 locations, all family owned and operated, still serving Grandma Rose's original recipes.
Charles Phoenix (born December 20, 1962) is an American pop culture humorist, historian, author and chef whose work explores 1950s and 1960s kitsch and Americana
From the Claremont courier:
Charles Phoenix’s enthusiasm is contagious. Whether the mid-century pop culture expert is extolling the virtues of a 1959 Buick Invicta (“a world-class national treasure”), his late mother’s Tupperware collection, or our own quaint little town, it’s hard not to assimilate his appreciation.
“Claremont is a pillar of civilization. It’s really SoCal’s best kept secret,” he said by phone from his home in Silver Lake. It’s this ardor, often delivered with hilarious but genuine hyperbole in his signature droll demeanor, that makes Phoenix the ideal emcee and auctioneer for Claremont Heritage’s Preservation Celebration Annual Awards Gala at the Padua Hills Theatre on Friday, May 17.
