Daily Inspiration: Meet Sal A

Today we’d like to introduce you to Sal A.

Hi Sal, we’d love for you to start by introducing yourself.
I spent years working in restaurants, learning the craft and building connections with people — coworkers, customers, and friends who appreciated the quality and care I put into everything I did.

Even after I moved into the I.T. field, the requests asking me to cook kept coming. And honestly, I missed it too. There’s something special about bringing people together through a good meal.

That’s what inspired me to start my own business — to take everything I’ve learned over the years and create something of my own. A place where I could share my passion, my experience, and the same level of quality that’s always defined my work.

Can you talk to us a bit about the challenges and lessons you’ve learned along the way. Looking back would you say it’s been easy or smooth in retrospect?
Yes and no. As a manager you still had someone you work under which gave you limits to what you can do but also had someone for guidance, I also never needed to do paper work. As an owner learning everything about all the details and being more organized was a learning curve. However the freedom is amazing, getting to make custom menus is my favorite part, one thing about me working in restaurants was I got bored of the same menu

Thanks – so what else should our readers know about your work and what you’re currently focused on?
So i / we are a two part business. First we are a catering business and second we like to go to local markets, shows, and events across Michigan as well. We specialize in Mediterranean but have a passion for all kinds of BBQ, I started with traditional food but like I said I get bored. Recently I’ve been doing Mediterranean Fusion lots of garlic and a blend of our homemade seasonings. I have been making Shawarma and brisket tacos, Smoke Fried Wings, We have been doing I am proud that we are able to make everything from scratch. What sets us apart from others is we really do not have a menu, people would call with requests and I would make it. I catered a wedding with Mediterranean, Indian and Italian all in the same buffet.

How do you think about luck?
I don’t really believe in luck. I believe that everything — the good and the bad — comes from God. When things go well, I’m grateful. When they don’t, I see it as a lesson or a test meant to make me better.
