It was 1982. Harold E. Sparks, a handsome young man from
Hamilton, Ohio leaves the security of a foreman position at
Fisher Body, a division of General Motors, and moves to
Inglewood, CA to fulfill his dream of opening a soul food
restaurant.

“The Serving Spoon” ™

The idea of providing excellent food that is not only
“Love At First Bite”, but a place where customers feel like
family, quickly caught on.  “The Spoon”, as often called by
many, has served customers ranging from entertainers to
politicians to the neighbor next door.
All in the spirit of making you feel at home, with food
that’s good for the soul.

J.C. and Angela now own and operate
the family business, and are developing key markets
throughout the United States
