And it reads, whereas Ted Kim, the visionary founder and owner of Stein's Beer Garden has become a cornerstone of our downtown Mountain View's dining and social scene for over a decade, opening its doors in 2013. Stein's quickly became a beloved gathering place, blending a modern take on the traditional beer garden with a curated selection of craft beers and elevated comfort food. Beyond his success as a restaurateur, Ted played a key role in bringing the spirit of Oktoberfest to Mountain View. Co-producing the annual Mountain View Oktoberfest in partnership with local businesses and organizations, his leadership helped grow the event into a major community tradition, attracting thousands of visitors each year to celebrate Bavarian culture with authentic food, music, and of course, world-class beer.
And whereas at Stein's Beer Garden enters a new chapter under new ownership, we recognize and honor Ted's lasting contributions to Mountain View, fostering connections, supporting local events, and enriching the city's culinary and cultural landscape. His dedication to quality, hospitality, and community building leaves an enduring legacy that will continue to shape the experiences at Stein's for year to come. now therefore i alan comey mayor of the city of mountain view along with my colleagues on the city council to hereby thank ted kim and his family for his vision leadership and commitment and wish him great success in what lies ahead and before i give this to you i have this like app that
