The Dussin Group oversees five concepts including Dussini Mediterranean Bistro, specializing in Mediterranean cuisine located in San Diego, California, Fenouil, an Urban French Brasserie in Portland's Pearl District, The Old Spaghetti Factory, family dining at its best with 37 locations domestically and 4 in Japan, and recent additions Blue Sage Café, a neighborhood restaurant serving American favorites with a Southwest flair in West Linn and soon-to-open in Lake Oswego, and Lucier, melding Modern European cuisine and personalized service in a contemporary, high design environment.

Dussin descends from a long line of successful restaurateurs. His grandfather, Chris Dussin founded Virginia Café, and later opened the New Virgina Café, both of which were eventually taken over by his son, Guss Dussin. Guss moved on to open Dussin Union Station (now Wilf's) located in the train station and The Old Spaghetti Factory in 1969. The Old Spaghetti Factory, now with 41 locations internationally, serves more than 10 million customers annually.
