Meet James, the owner of Stoke Salad — an Australian-inspired salad and bowl concept bringing fresh, bold flavors from the coast of Australia to Torrance, CA.

For our first Close Up, we pulled up to Stoke Salad — but our version of a restaurant collab is a little different.

We’re not pulling up asking for free food. We’re pulling up asking if you need help closing.

Close Up by FAKAS takes us inside other restaurants at the end of the night, where we work alongside their team, help clean up and talk about what it really takes to run a restaurant.

The wins. The struggles. The sacrifices. The stories customers usually never hear.

No sit-down interview. No free meal.

Just restaurant people helping restaurant people.

Welcome to Close Up.

Welcome to THE CLOSE UP by FAKAS—our new series showcasing restaurant owners and what it really takes to make the food you eat happen.

Everybody sees the food.

Not everybody sees what happens after the doors close.

For our first Close Up, we pulled up on Stoke Salad inside The Enclave to get to know the people behind the restaurant—and lend a hand while they closed up for the night.

We clean. We break down. We take out trash. And somewhere along the way, we hear their story.

No rehearsed answers. No highlight reel. Just the raw, real side of what it takes to run a restaurant.

Much respect to the homie James from Stoke Salad for letting us into his world. If you haven’t checked them out yet, pull up, grab a salad and show them some love. šŸ¤™šŸ½ā¤ļø

We work. We talk. We help.

Welcome to THE CLOSE UP.

Giving back to the community šŸ¤™šŸ½ā¤ļø

FAKA’S is proud to support the YUP Program’s Back to School Drive.

We’ve proudly supported Peter, Upu, and the YUP Program since the beginning, and it’s been incredible watching what they continue to build. From food drives to youth programs and community resources, they’re putting real work behind creating opportunities and showing up for the next generation.

For us, FAKA’S has always been about more than food. It’s about culture, community, and making sure we give back to the people.

Big love to Peter Afemata Upu S. Ama , the entire Y.U.P. Program team, SoCal Pacific Islander Community Response Team and everyone who came out. šŸ¤™šŸ½

Keep building. Keep giving back. ā¤ļø
