Joe Fracci came to Yours Truly as a cook in 1994. After five years, he joined the management team. “I love the people here – the guests, employees, and owners. I just enjoy the atmosphere,” says Joe. That atmosphere isn’t unusual to Joe, who literally grew up in Mentor restaurants and bars owned by his family members. “I got on the job training from an early age,” he says. Working at YT still gives him time to pursue his hobby – music. “My goal is to continue developing my music and keeping in touch with it,” says Joe, adding, “I used to be in a band, but it’s really just a hobby for me now.” This die-hard Cleveland sports fan, says if he were a car he’d be “a classic `67 Camaro.” Not only does he like fast cars, he likes vacationing in high-energy places, including New York City and Las Vegas. Joe, a Mentor High School grad, has a pet dog named Bean (a terrier mix). After growing up in the restaurant business, it’s no surprise that Joe knows his way around a kitchen. “I like to cook but hate cleaning up the mess,” he confides. Italian foods, such as veal parmesan and chicken marsala, are his specialty. At work, his favorite YT items include Wedding Soup and a Monte Cristo Sandwich.
Mary O'Brien Thanks to years of restaurant experience at restaurants like Nightown, Café Brio and Chesterland Tavern, Mary O’Brien soared quickly through Yours Truly’s management training program. Mary has many diverse hobbies. She’s an award winning quilter, avid gardener (two rural acres filled with ferns, hostas and bee balm attest to her skill) and artist. She attended the Cleveland Art Institute and sold some of her paintings and drawings when she lived in California. At Yours Truly, Mary likes to “turn out” a perfect omelet. “Eggs are my favorite thing to cook,” she says. Cottage cheese and fruit are her favorite items to order off the menu. When she’s not eating at Yours Truly, she loves to eat Japanese food, especially sushi. Why is Mary wearing a smile all the time? She credits her positive outlook on life. “I like to be happy and don’t let things get me down.” Mary shares her home with loyal friend Isobell, a grey kitten she rescued. “Life is not how many breaths you take, but moments that take your breath away.” Shauna Oreh brings a variety of experience to Yours Truly, from management consulting to environmental sales. Shauna looks at every shift as an opportunity to “host a party.” Working at Yours Truly provides great preparation and experience for her ultimate goal - opening a catering business. Perhaps she’ll serve one of her favorite YT dessert items, Kentucky Pie? Shauna, a mother of four grown children, including a son who also works at Yours Truly, enjoys cooking and decorating in her spare time. Meet the Managers at our other locations Beachwood Managers
