San Francisco lost a true icon with the passing of Joe Betz, beloved owner of @thehouseofprimerib . His unwavering hospitality made the restaurant a home for generations of diners, and his spirit will continue on through his family and the community he built. We join our Chairman of the Board, Michael Bauer, in honoring Joe’s memory and legacy. Our hearts are with his loved ones and the House of Prime Rib team. (fb)
