Pelicans aren’t necessarily associated with the Northwest, but to our Café’s founders, Peter and Marilyn Limberopoulos, it’s something deeply personal, as they named The Rusty Pelican Café in honor of their favorite little restaurant they would frequent when visiting Florida. There is value and meaning to storytelling, and it’s so often associated with the enjoyment of a meal prepared with care. Pelicans are deeply symbolic birds, representing wisdom, a nurturing spirit, and the ability to find one’s way, all very much at the heart of The Rusty Pelican Café’s family story.
