"You're talking to a dinosaur," says Judy Duren, the 66-year-old owner of Dino's Italian Food, a restaurant that has served homemade everything — noodles, meatballs, sausage, red sauce, pizza and even ice cream — since 1961. "I think we're a dying breed. Independent restaurant owners are a dying breed," she elaborates. "You can't afford to do it anymore."
Duren's father, Dino DiPaolo, opened the family restaurant in 1961, when his daughter was nine years old. She worked for her dad until going away to the University of Colorado in Boulder, where she took a job at a Mr. Steak, mostly because classes and studying didn't fill enough of her time. "Other than Mr. Steak, I've never worked another job," she says. "I've never had to fill out applications or sit through job interviews."
