We at San Francisco Schtuff would like to pay our respects to Vincent DeDomenico, the co-founder of Rice-A-Roni. Rice-A-Roni has been a supper-time staple for years. DeDomenico died Thursday with his wife, Mildred, by his side.

Growing up, my mom, despite working hard all day as a school teacher, would come home and cook for her family of five. Rice-A-Roni was a side dish the whole family enjoyed that didn’t take a lot of effort for her to prepare.

Mr. DeDomenico, like the jingle that is synonymous with his product, was truly A San Francisco Treat.

R.I.P. Vincent DeDomenico
