About
1981
Albert Okura, future founder of Juan Pollo Restaurants was working
for various fast food chains as manager. A char-broiled chicken
chain (The other guys) opened a restaurant across the street.
Albert was very impressed with the simplicity of the operations.
Never really enjoying fried chicken because of the heavy breading
and greasy taste, Albert became intrigued with this style chicken.
Little did he realize that one day he would produce an improved
system of cooking healthy chicken.
