Letter to the Editor – Thank You – J. Falco

In December of 2006 my wife Tressy and I received a call from my cousin Anthony asking if I would like to meet with a nice couple named Dave and Megan Quillinan who were interested in opening a deli in the former Sal’s Place. They were looking for business partners and he thought we might be a good fit. It had been a dream of mine to open my own business for a long time and so we decided to meet. We hit it off right away. It was as if it we were meant to be partners. We talked for hours about what we wanted the business to be and we were on the same page. With my strength in the front of house and Dave’s strength of being an awesome executive chef we decided to give it our best shot.
