Our Story
With over 25 years in the food service industry, owner Christy Buso is proud to be part the Southbury community where she can showcase her love for food & cooking.
“This store is a culmination of everything I have learned over my years in food service—all put under one roof. From my days as a register clerk, to being a certified trainer for a large restaurant chain, to then owning my own business for 9 years. Every step has been a lesson that eventually has led me here. I couldn’t be happier with what this store has become, and I look forward to serving everyone some delicious food made with love.”
