From Us to You
Jon and Patty’s recipes originally came from their home. They wanted to cook for their customers the way they did in their lives, and so developed a theme: Fresh, healthy, creative and affordable neighborhood bistro fare.
Our Story
Where It All Began
When they were both in college, Jon and Patty met at a restaurant called The Crab Trap where Jon was the dinner chef. One night, Patty was at the bar with some friends and she met Jon, who was filling in for a bartender. That night the restaurant owner told Patty, “You’re going to marry Jon some day.” Patty laughed.
A week later Patty visited the bar and saw Jon there, having an off duty drink. She bought him a drink and the rest, as they say, is history.
After they met, Jon and Patty worked together as chef and dining room manager respectively at The Back Burner, a restaurant in Hockessin, Delaware. They got engaged there. The restaurant is still in business nearly 30 years later and has become a universal shrine to love won and kept in the culinary world…. just kidding.
