Under New Management
A New Face to Lamb’s Grill
After over sixty years in the business, John Speros is finally retiring. “I think someone with a little more vision and innovation should take over,” said Speros. He has sold his family business to Francis Liong, who has spent his life in the restaurant business and intends to keep the core popular menu items as they are. Liong plans to modernize the POS system and replace some of the less popular menu items. But he intends to maintain the overall vision that the Speros family started with Bill Lamb over 100 years ago.
