"On April 6, 2010, Ted Bowersox, State Farm Insurance agent, celebrated his 35th year of being in the
insurance business, hosting a party at Tutor and Spunky's deli. The creative Mr. Bowersox made the party fun by tying into
the tv show, American Idol. It seems that Ted's namesake, Crystal Bowersox, from Ohio where Ted is from. Ted and Crystal are
4th cousins, once removed. So a large group enjoyed Tutor and Spunky's great food in their dining room and then watched Crystal

Our goal at Tutor and Spunky's Deli has been to serve the locals with
impeccable service, fresh, quality food, generous portions and a personal touch one doesn’t normally get from a chain operation. We know the names of many of
our satisfied customers and what they usually order.”
Tutor and Spunky’s Deli of Dana Point, California, in southern California, opened December 22, 1988. Since then, over 570,000 sandwiches
have been served. Tom’s two original employees, Teresa and Rosa, are now his partners.
Tutor and Spunky's Deli was founded by Tom Blake
, a former Operations and Marketing executive of
Victoria Station, the prime rib restaurant chain that flourished during the 1970s.
Located on Pacific Coast Highway, Tutor and Spunky's Deli specializes in catering and serving local businesses and customers who simply love
the place. Surfers frequent Tutor’s, often stopping for a bite to eat before hitting the waves, and then returning after surfing to fill up again.
Tutor and Spunky’s Deli is a classic. In a time of national chains providing cookie-cutter and often impersonal service, the employees serve up
fresh, quality food with a personal touch one doesn’t get from a chain operation. “Some customers come in so often, we not only know their names, but what they usually order.”
Over the years, Tutor and Spunky’s Deli has gained recognition.
In August, 2004, the city of Dana Point named the deli as the business of the month. In 2001, the
Today Show filmed a segment there.
