Our Story
Our journey began during the challenging times of the COVID-19 pandemic. Our founder and chef, Michael Zagarella, a Toms River native with extensive experience in the culinary industry, started by delivering soups through touchless and contactless methods. As our soups gained popularity, we expanded to local farmers markets, which eventually led to the opening of our brick-and-mortar location.

Our Philosophy
Mise En Place
We operate under the philosophy of Mise En Place, a French culinary term meaning “everything in its place.” In the kitchen, it’s about preparation, organization, and having every tool and ingredient ready before the work begins. This approach helps us stay efficient, focused, and consistent in delivering high-quality food every day. Beyond cooking, it’s a mindset we believe applies to everyday life as well — from careers and teamwork to household routines and personal organization.
