Meet the Business Owner

Cameron I.

Business Owner

Cameron started in the restauarant business in 1997 when he opened The Rockin’ Taco Cantina and then Chomp Sushi in 2001. He sold both these Fullerton landmarks in 2005. In 2010 the Founder of Nieuport 17 (a long time family friend) Bill Bettis asked Cameron to step in to help breathe new life into the classic 42 year old restaurant. So starting is 2010 the turnaround began. Nieuport 17 is now attracting a new crowd as well as their old regulars who enjoy the Classic Cocktails, Craft Beers, Great Steaks and Seafood along with the new creations of Chef Marco Colin.

In 2011 Cameron launched Aviation Guest Chef Pop up in a private room inside Nieuport 17. This pop up is attracting great local chefs and foodies who love the ever changing menu.
