Pier 39’s Family Food Legacy Perseveres
San Francisco’s Pier 39 has long been a staple of the city, commanding views of Angel Island, Alcatraz and the Golden Gate Bridge. Warren Simmons, the original founder, developer and creator of Pier 39, built it up in 1978, assisting on the job site with his son Scooter. What started as a family vision and love of the California coast turned into a bustling tourist attraction and string of successful restaurants on the Pier.
