The Grateful Gourmet began years and years before its inception, and is so deeply rooted in familial ties. Connecting with people through food is an act of love, and having the privilege to nourish guests physically as well as nourish their spirit is a gift. We open our doors and our hearts to celebrate and feast with family and friends.
Our team is small but mighty, and we’re determined to add our very own blend of spice to the culinary world, serving up unique dining experiences throughout the NJ/PA/DE area.
We believe in making delicious food, with simple ingredients, and a lot of heart.
Connection
Filling peoples’ bellies along with feeding their soul and spirit. Every ingredient is intentionally and lovingly curated, prepared, and shared.
CONNECT & NOURISH
Culture
As a lifelong Deadhead, Desi cooks with a rebellious spirit that brings a sense of adventure to food & business, crafting recipes that push the bar, and a community that loves hard.
COOKING UP COUNTER CULTURE
Heart
Cooking with passion, creativity and innovation, placing the ‘hard work’ right up there with the ‘heart work.’
SERVING FROM THE HEART
“I rarely go out to eat, but when I do, my go-to order is steak tartare & a dirty martini.”
“Heinz Beans, English Cheddar, Sour Cream & Bacon - LOADED!”
“Althea. I also love the 21 Savage remixed version!"
“Anchovies! Everyone thinks they hate them, but I promise you don’t!”
“Cookbooks! I have hundreds and I can’t wait to write my own one day!”
