The Flame Broiler - San Dimas

A Healthy Choice

With his own proprietary Flame Broiler sauce and beef marinade, the first The Flame Broiler The Rice Bowl King restaurant opened in 1995 in Fullerton, California. Young Lee, who had graduated from UCLA with a degree in economics and had joined the workforce, often found himself on the road during the workday. As a result, he often found himself grabbing a quick bite to eat for lunch at many different fast food restaurants. Very entrepreneurial in nature, he set out to create a better, healthier alternative to the fast food he had to choose from on the road. This led him to open the first The Flame Broiler The Rice Bowl King restaurant, which served simple, delicious, healthful, Korean style fast food all without dairy, trans-fat, frying and skin.
