Omar and Hazel Hill constructed Omar's Steak & Chicken House on the site of the former Berkeley Hot Springs in Ashland Oregon. During construction and excavation in 1946 they found a number of mastodon bones. Omar had gained quality experience working at the Brown Derby and Savoy Hotel in Hollywood and this experience showed right away and established Omar's as a premier dining spot in Southern Oregon.
