We are flatbread fanatic foodies and can make them fabulous! Some people believe that dreams are called dreams for a reason and that the likelihood of them coming true is slim. Well, we decided to challenge that notion and turn our dream into a reality. My husband and I are risking it all! We sold our home in Connecticut and much of what was inside of it. What was left was crammed into a storage POD and will remain in there until who knows when. We left our family, friends and the comfort of familiarity behind and relocated to a happy little place in Myrtle Beach with my in-laws. Being here, we are hoping to save as much money as we can, with the free child care for our 3-year-old daughter Stella being a huge plus. We are so very thankful and hope they will be willing to put up with the three of us – and our two dogs – until Charleston Flats gets up and running. My handsome and charmingly sarcastic husband Steve decided to forgo the typical 9-5, guaranteed source of income, stable job to help me fulfill my dream and passion in life: FOOD! Plus I have to admit he can really work the kitchen – one of the reasons I married him. Food and the fondness of great flavor have been in me since I was born, and I am grateful that my mom and dad could see it in me. They kept me involved in cooking throughout my whole life. They would drive me up to the Culinary Institute of America for weekend classes during my childhood years, and I then chose to attend the prestigious school for college. While there, I learned everything from fundamentals to fabrication of food, but I truly felt my passion and talent came from my large Italian family. Food is our life! Sharing food with people we love is priceless. We literally breathe food! Watching someone's face while eating something I have created and then telling me it's one of the best things they ever tasted gives me complete joy, satisfaction and chills up my arms. This is why I am sure my food truck will succeed! This is what I was made for! We are truly blessed to have the support of our family and friends and look forward to serving them our delicious gourmet flatbreads in the near future. We greatly appreciate any form of kindness you can give, whether it's good advice, supporting words, prayer or paper, and we thank you for believing in us and helping us get one step closer into making our dream a reality. We have so many great ideas and just can't wait to take them on the road. We hope you can come along for the ride! Please make sure to follow us on Facebook! We look forward to keeping you informed in the production of Charleston Flats. We would also love to hear any ideas and suggestions you may have!
