Morgan Hill icon serves its final milkshake and burger

Morgan Hill icon serves its final milkshake and burger

By Brittney Sherman

From ice cream and milkshakes to burgers and fries, Dari Delite Drive-In has been a Morgan Hill fan favorite since 1978. Family owned and operated by the Kim family since day one, they have served the community with a smile and a kind word for more than 47 years. It was with a heavy heart that we learned of the Kim family’s sale of Dari Delite earlier this year. The Kim family and the quaint building with its nostalgic diner vibes have become an icon of Morgan Hill that will never be forgotten. A heartfelt “thank you” to the Kim family for their dedication and commitment to the Morgan Hill Community and best wishes on their next adventure.

Home kitchen fees waived through March

By Brittney Sherman

In March 2023, the Micro Enterprise Home Kitchen Operation (MEHKO) ordinance and permit fees were adopted by the Santa Clara County Board of Supervisors, authorizing home-based retail food facilities. Under this program, food is prepared, cooked and served from a private residence at a maximum of 90 meals per week. Due to recent fee relief, the MEHKO application ($435) and permit ($635) fees have been waived through March 2024.

Program History: In January 2019, AB 262 authorized individuals to operate restaurants out of their private residences. In September 2022, SB 972 approved MEHKO operators to expand their offerings by collaborating with no more than two Compact Mobile Food Operators for sidewalk vendor sales. In 2023, AB 1325 adjusted the MEKHOS annual gross income cap to $100,000 and expanded the weekly meals to no more than 90.

According to the Small Business Saturday Consumer Insights Survey commissioned by American Express, reported projected spending among U.S. consumers who shopped at independent retailers and restaurants on Small Business Saturday reached an estimated $17.9 billion in 2022.

There are approximately 32 million independent businesses nationwide, employing nearly 61.7 million people. Small businesses are the backbone of your communities, and with 19.6% of small businesses failing in the first year and only 34.5% surviving past 10 years, they need all the support they can get. Founded by American Express in 2010 and officially cosponsored by SBA since 2011, Small Business Saturday has become an important part of small businesses’ busiest shopping season. Take the pledge to Shop Small on Saturday November 25 and support local small business owners all season long.
