The Life Taster: Tricia Allen

A Midwest native, Tricia Allen moved to sunny Los Angeles and identified an opportunity for affordable fresh fish restaurants in the city. That was before Tricia opened Off the Hook Grille where she serves healthy, fresh food at an affordable price for young families. Not only has her restaurant developed a strong following, but Tricia says that it's become a vital part of the community. "One of the best parts of being a local business owner is being part of the community. When someone comes in no matter what their day is, you greet them with a smile. You tell them, "Welcome. Sit down. Have something to eat," and it's amazing how people actually change."

Catering to the Community

Tricia and her husband run this restaurant together and are committed to providing high-quality food and healthy options. The team works with a local fish purveyor and local produce company for all of their seafood and produce. "We keep our menu very specific, so we can offer fresh food at good prices. Our goal is to run out of fish every night. We don't have a large menu with lots of choices because that would mean we'd run the risk of food going bad and raising our costs."

Making Her Mouth Matter

Tricia wanted to create a place where people could enjoy delicious fresh fish at the most affordable price. She's committed to providing her community and family healthy dining options."It's imperative for me to have a healthy mouth. I run a healthy business. I want people to come in and see that this is what health looks like", says Tricia. "My mouth gives me power to be a successful business owner, to smile when people walk in the door, to taste the food and make sure it's just right."
