Perkins & Marie Callender's, LLC, or PMCI, doing business as Marie Callender's, is a restaurant chain with over 75 locations in the United States and Mexico.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=About - Marie Callender's Restaurant & Bakery )〕 Its headquarters are in the Marie Callender's Corporate Support Center in Mission Viejo, Orange County, California.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Contact - Marie Callender's Restaurant & Bakery )〕 One East Side Mario’s restaurant in Lakewood, California is part of the chain, a remnant of the period (1997-2000) when the chain owned the ESM concept, purchased from Pepsico. The type of cuisine served is mainly American, although many of the dishes are slanted towards styles of preparation that resemble Italian, Mexican, French, Cajun, or Chinese. Soups and sandwiches are available as meals or ''à la carte''. Pies are signature items on the dessert menu: there are over 30 varieties available. Pies can be purchased whole or by-the-slice. As of 2015, there are 70 locations: California (61), Idaho (1), Nevada (4), Texas (2) and Utah (2). ==History== In the 1930s, Marie Callender and her son Don lived in a trailer park off Beach Boulevard in Huntington Beach. Marie baked and sold pies to augment the family's income, with Don delivering pies to customers on his bicycle. In 1948 Don founded the business as a wholesale outlet for selling pies to other restaurants in Orange County, California. Eventually, Don opened a retail outlet in Orange, California, naming it after his mother, gradually adding other food. In later years, a typical restaurant would have a fully stocked bar, or saloon, serving alcoholic beverages. This is in contrast to family restaurants like Denny's or Village Inn, which generally do not serve alcoholic beverages. A salad bar is also a staple. The interiors of the chain's earlier restaurants are decorated with antiques circa 1900, providing a theme that is reminiscent of Victorian England as well as early America. Later restaurants reflect more modern tastes, with a clean interior and photos of food. The business flourished until Don died on January 7, 2009, due to complications from a fall at home where he struck his head.〔(Marie Callender's founder, Don Callender, dies )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Marie Callender's」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
