Farmer Boys Restaurants are found in Southern and Central California and Nevada. This restaurant icon is known for its award-winning burgers, monster-sized onion rings and crispy zucchini which are prepared exclusively with farm fresh ingredients.  According to Joseph, the decor and atmosphere along with the smell of farm fresh breakfast, lunch and dinner entrees cooking make this fast casual dining restaurant feels like home. Additionally, although the burgers are the cornerstone of the menu, Farmer Boys Restaurants offer a wide variety of delicious sandwiches, wraps, salads and breakfast choices which are cooked to order just like their world-famous burgers.  Sadek's eagerness to please his customers showed when he stated; "Our commitment to our guest is to continue serve the highest quality of food throughout all day parts, whether it is breakfast, lunch or dinner.
