FRESNO, Calif. (KFSN) — Flight Line Cafe inside Chandler Airport in southwest Fresno attracts aviation enthusiasts and folks who just want a good meal.<\/p>\n
“This is not just a historical place, but there are so many memories here,” says co-owner Brenda Dalforno. “This cafe has been here since this building was built, and that was the late 20’s.”<\/p>\n
The place appears to be frozen in time – until you see how quickly the food is prepared.<\/p>\n
Ruben Velasco and staff are just a blur in the kitchen.<\/p>\n
“They do work at a warp speed, that’s for sure,” Dalforno said.<\/p>\n
“The flavor I do, it comes from the heart, my hands,” Velasco said. “I have to move.”<\/p>\n
The arrival of the Alpha, Bravo, Charlie Omelet was highly anticipated.<\/p>\n
Alpha stands for “Avocado,” Bravo stands for “bacon” and Charlie stands for “cheese.”<\/p>\n
“I love the aviation theme of some of the dishes,” Dalforno said.<\/p>\n
If you’re in urgent need of a burger, go with the Mayday burger.<\/p>\n
“It keeps you coming back for more,” Dalforno said.<\/p>\n
Understandably, some pilots even include a meal at the cafe in their flight plan.<\/p>\n
“I’ve met a few pilots that have come from as far away as Phoenix, Arizona,” Dalforno said.<\/p>\n
The cooks in the kitchen are Dalforno’s uncles.<\/p>\n
“I’m trying to do something new, better,” Velasco said. “If I like it, customers are going to come and try it and love it.”<\/p>\n
“Our way of expressing our love is through food,” Dalforno said.<\/p>\n
We also suggest the seafood specials.<\/p>\n
“Every Friday, we’ll do fish tacos, and we have a signature sauce on those tacos,” Dalforno said. “We also offer a fantastic bowl of clam chowder. We usually run out of this pretty quick.”<\/p>\n
