At From Scratch Restaurant in Carmel-by-the-Sea, California, the restaurant’s name is the best and truest marketing tool. This classic diner is known for its comfort food menu which is all made, surprise, from scratch daily.

The restaurant was opened by two female restaurateurs in 1977 when the shopping village it sits in had just been developed. For the next 20 years, a number of owners tried their hands at the business, but couldn't make it stick.

Enter the Grebing family. In 1995 they purchased the restaurant and upgraded it from a spot that was constantly changing hands to a neighborhood destination.

Chef Steve brought his love of food to the business and it's noticeable in every bite. From Scratch is also a true family business. Three of the Grebing children have joined the restaurant and you might spot one or all of them working on any given day.
