The Yegiazaryans at Su-Boereg and Monta Factory
Mother and son Evelina and Sarges Yegiazaryan explain their process for churning out 10,000 sini-monta (Armenian beef dumplings) per day, by hand. Having begun as a wholesale operation, they eventually opened their doors to the public, and since then, they've provided a hearty taste of home to members of the Armenian diaspora, while also broadening the palates of non-Armenian Angelenos.
