Chef Paul Groarke Returns to His Roots — Every Wednesday Night at Goemon Izakaya Bar & Karaoke Lounge!We’re beyond thrilled to welcome back a true local legend—Chef Paul Groarke, the culinary mastermind who once turned a humble Outer Richmond dive bar into a nationally-celebrated foodie destination.
Before Goemon, there was Tee Off Bar & Grill, and at its heart was Chef Paul. From his decadent Crafty Mac & Cheese to his unforgettable comfort food creations, Paul earned praise from none other than Guy Fieri on Diners, Drive-Ins & Dives.
