4 months agoDuane Roberts, frozen burrito magnate and Mission Inn owner, dies at 88
Duane Roberts made millions off a food he was initially wholly ignorant of: the humble burrito. It was the 1950s, and his family owned a small meat wholesaler called the Butcher Boy that sold patties to local restaurants, including one of the first operating McDonald's, a location in San Bernardino. As the fast food chain and other burger joints grew in popularity, the family brainstormed other products they could manufacture, Roberts recalled in a 2007 interview with the Orange County Register.
