“The inspiration for this restaurant came from my many years of experiences in the food service field,” he said. “I love what I do. My dream was always to own my own place. This is my dream come true. The best part about operating a restaurant [is] the connections I build every day with customers when creating the best experience for them. We love how the McKinney community really embraces small businesses.”

Pineda said he draws from his years of experience and passion for creating a great burger experience to fine-tune the menu selections at The One and Only.

On average, The One and Only sells about 300 burgers a day and 2,000 pounds of potatoes a week, Pineda said.

“People probably assume that I get tired of eating burgers all the time,” Pineda said. “But in reality, my passion for burgers is stronger than ever. I still eat a burger every day.”
