Chef Brian Wegener

Suitably, supporting his local community became a large part of his lifestyle. Currently, in the early mornings he visits local farms to gather ingredients that to use in distinctive dishes. In addition, he frequents local Farmers Markets to stock his shelves with locally produced products and encourages others to sample what this area has to offer. His menus change with the growing seasons adding a taste of home to every bite.
The Butter Brothers
The Butter Brothers dreamed of creating something big; a feat that would aid the world, adding convenience for others. For nearly 10 years, they had always conceptualized a plethora of potential and off the wall ideas. Subsequently, neither of them had attained a moment in their lives where their dreams could come to fruition. Simultaneously, The Butter Brothers pronounced 2017 would be their year to start focusing on their aspirations. From here on they have created a variety of flavors i.e. Pumpkin Spice, Old Bay, Sriracha, Salted Caramel, Garlic Herb, Cinnamon Sugar, Honey Vanilla, and Lemon Pepper.
