Real Food. Real Friends. We’re light on etiquette and heavy on delicious. Translation: We take food seriously, but not ourselves.
The story behind Humagalas: When twin brothers Bob and Bill Frankis, owners and creators of Humagalas, were kids growing up in Baltimore City, they were like any other red-blooded, fun-loving, adventurous and occasionally mischievous boys. They played hard and got themselves into a little hot water now and then. Well, being of Greek heritage, their dad had a family pet name, a term of endearment, for his two young boys. He called Bill and Bob “his little Humagalas.” Apparently it means different things depending on the situation.
Looking back, for Bill and Bob, being a Humagala meant one of two things: either a good and well-behaved or sometimes a mischievous, occasionally feisty son that their Mom and Dad loved.
So, when they decided to create a new Bel Air MD restaurant, they wanted to open one that Mom and Dad would be proud of, and that really reflected their personalities and family values. When they chose Humagalas as the name, the fun, friendly and sometimes feisty atmosphere and team culture made perfect sense with their “Real Food – Real Friends” vision.
