Elgin restaurateur speaks to Elgin Golden K Kiwanis
On Oct. 16, George Arsoniades from Big Skillet Restaurant and Pancake House and Larsa’s Kitchen visited the Elgin Golden K Kiwanis.
After his 38-year career owning restaurants, George has sold his restaurant to Larsa’s Kitchen, which used to be hosted in a gas station down the way. Previously, George was founder of Alexander’s Cafe on Route 31.
To keep Big Skillet alive during COVID, George had to rent a top quality tent for $11,000 per month.
The restaurant is planning special ethnic fest menus for November. Modern renovations are planned for later in the year.
The Elgin Golden K Kiwanis are thankful for George’s return to the club this year and congratulate him on his great speaking style and suntan from his recent trip to Greece!
