I have worked in the food & beverage industry for over 25 years. I came up in the industry from starting in pizzerias to working in high volume hotels. That led me to working as a freelance caterer for numerous catering companies throughout the tristate area for many years. Eventually I would go on to start my own business as a private chef until I took a position as an Executive Chef for a fine dining establishment in Bergen County NJ on a local golf course. There is where I would go on to meet my future business partner. After the business was dissolved, I was offered an opportunity to join a food truck business that was being spearheaded by my former colleague. Together we changed the NJ food truck scene through a massive social media following that put the spotlight on a nostalgic local brand with over 70 years of history as we traveled throughout NJ/NY gaining notoriety and winning awards at numerous food truck competitions. We then opened our first brick and mortar where I was able to showcase my original creations and elevate the nostalgic brand. My creations garnered the attention of various social media pages that would make us go viral quite a few times. My work has been featured on The Food Network, Travel Channel, Cooking Channel, Thrillist, Insider Food, USA Today, News 12 NJ, Saveur Magazine, Fox & Friends, and World Star Hip Hop to name a few. My burger creation has garnered me a #11 ranking for the "Best Burger in the Country" having been viewed over a half a billion times across 15 countries. We were also ranked "Best Pig Out Spot" in America.
