Chef Anthony Marengo and his wife Stefanie thought they had it all. He was a successful chef and she was a general manager in the senior care industry. With two young boys they were living the American Dream, then in March 2020 like the rest of the world everything changed. Due to the pandemic they both lost their jobs and had zero income coming in. After months of living off their savings they were down to the last $4000, and although they were down they still wanted to give back, so they donated over 125 meals to our heroes at Good Samaritan Hospital. The workers were very pleased and wanted to know where they could get more of his food. That’s when Anthony and Stefanie came up with the idea of doing $10 meals for all front line workers with free delivery and contactless pick up. Word spread and people from all over started calling for food.
This endeavor gave them just enough to be able to pay their bills. Then came the day they were watching the movie “Chef” and Stefanie said “Anthony, we need to do that”. Inspired by the film, they thought that getting a food truck and bringing Anthony’s culinary creations to the public could make their dreams come true once again.
After saving up they were able to buy an old camper, and day and night Anthony worked on it to convert it into a Food Truck. Eventually it all came together and they landed their first gig at 1940s Brewery. It didn’t matter if it was 110* or 15* degrees out, husband and wife worked side by side to build their business. With Chef Anthony putting his own signature twists on classic flavors within less than one year they were named “Best Wings on Long Island”
The food truck proved to be very popular and served many locations and even more loyal customers wanting more.
