GRAND OPENING IS SET FOR WEDNESDAY JUNE 11TH AT THE PROMENADE MALL’S FARMERS MARKET

When is a burrito not just a burrito? When it’s got SOUL. In February of 2008, local rock musician Paul Bahou (26) from the band INVERSE and area concert promoter and “Voice of the Temecula Rock Scene” Ivan McClain (24) were thinking of ways to help and save Temecula’s struggling music scene. With the recent closure of both local hot spot Cuppy’s Coffee in Murrieta in February and Temecula’s indie music showcase The Vault last August, area bands were at a loss of local places to play, network, and make new fans. Then, the answer came… Breakfast Burritos!


An unconventional answer most certainly, but that was the point. For years Paul had always wanted to open up a breakfast burrito stand at the Temecula farmers market, and with Ivan’s desire to establish a new hub for local music, the idea to combine the two made perfect sense. Mr. Pete’s would sell premium breakfast burritos made fresh from Temecula’s farmers’ ingrediants while establishing “The Hub,” a local destination point for bands to put up fliers, network with other musicians and sell merchandise. With the concept set, the young entrepreneurs decided to emphasize their musical roots and lighthearted nature by naming it after local scene legend/historian Mr. Pete, who, as a 62 year old teenager with a ubiquitous presence at local shows, seemed like the perfect namesake.

Opening for business on June 11^th at the Promenade Farmers Market, Mr. Pete’s Breakfast Burrito Extravaganza will be a destination for Breakfast Burrito fans, Music fans, Artists, and People just looking to get funky, because after all, with menu items like “The Wake’n Steak”, “The Man Burrito” and “The Vegetable Monologues”, Mr. Pete’s isn’t just a breakfast burrito stand, it’s a State of Mind.

Menifee, California - Seasoned veteran of the Long Beach City Council, Wallace Edgerton, garnered the most votes in a highly contested race for the first City Council of the new City of Menifee. At 2:30am and 100% precincts reporting, Darcy Kuenzi, Fred Twyman, Scott Mann and John Denver appear to have won a seat on the Council as well.


According to the results tonight, future council members will be selected By Districts like Riverside, rather than At Large as other neighboring cities like Murrieta are. Local residents also selected the name ‘Menifee’ for the new city that will incorporate officially on October 1.

Here are the unofficial totals for the Menifee cityhood vote:
