When Taso G. Lagos began to memorialize his family's beloved Greek
restaurant The Continental, he wrestled with 40 years of history
and a clientele that stretched for generations. His family bought
into the operation without a clue how to run an eatery, yet in time
they became linchpins of their Seattle neighborhood. Customers
became friends, and meals turned into memories. It wasn't only the
food or the company, though. The Continental also served as an
entry point into mainstream culture for a family who had just
arrived in the United States as Greek immigrants a few years prior.
While the Lagoses cooked and cared for many people, they also
learned valuable lessons about what it means to be "American." This
memoir illuminates life in a Greek restaurant through the
experiences of one member of a restauranteur family. It also
emphasizes the role of restaurants as vital social institutions
that often provide immigrants with a dynamic space for
acculturation. Readers will learn the many ways a family restaurant
adds culture and richness to a community.
