| | | | | | Ed Stokes, the legendary founder of Diablo Foods, turns 90 years old this month. Who knew when he started the store in 1968 that he'd still be there 44 years later, now joined by his kids and grandkids? Look for complimentary mini-cupcakes at the store, purchased from Orinda's Republic of Cake (at a discount), and just down the street at Postino on Tuesday, November 13, fans, friends, neighbors and customers are invited by the family to stop by and toast Ed to celebrate this milestone birthday from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. His daughter, Connie Stokes Collier, notes his actual birthday is two days before Thanksgiving, "One of the biggest grocery store days of the year." Happy birthday, Ed!
