The Magic Pan

[1] The first Magic Pan was a small place on Fillmore Street in San Francisco established by Hungarian immigrants Lazlo and Paulette Fono.

[5] In 2005, the Magic Pan name was re-introduced by Lettuce Entertain You Enterprises as a fast-food crepe stand in Northbrook, Illinois.

[6] The revived chain opened a second location in the food court of the Mall of America near Minneapolis, Minnesota.

[7] The Paradies company currently operates Magic Pan in U.S. airports including Denver and Washington National.

The ‘conveyor’ was a gas flame heated circular “wheel” about normal table height that slowly turned and held eight pans maximum at one time.
