Focaccia at Milburn and Herndon in northwest Fresno specializes in crunchy creations with melted cheese.<\/p>\n
“We work really hard to cook the meat, and my girls execute well,” says owner Sanjay Gadh. “Without them, I’m nobody.”<\/p>\n
Actually, he’s Gadh.<\/p>\n
His wife, Renu, helps fill the constant orders.<\/p>\n
“I’m making chicken pesto, basil chicken, brisket grilled cheese, pan-roasted turkey, tri-tip sandwich,” she said.<\/p>\n
