Nonna’s Family Restaurant
& Catering Company
Receives Broaster’s Golden Chicken Award
Belleville, IL, December
15, 2005 — The Broaster Company, a leading
manufacturer and supplier of foodservice equipment,
fresh and frozen foods, and branded food programs,
presented Nonna’s Family Restaurant &
Catering Company with its Golden Chicken Award
in a ceremony held recently at the restaurant.
The Golden Chicken award is presented annually
by The Broaster Company to a select number of
foodservice operators across the country that
have shown exemplary merchandising skills in the
promotion and sale of Genuine Broaster Chicken®,
the company’s signature product.
Nonna’s, located
at 4508 West Main in Belleville, is owned by Chris
Mayer, a hard-working entrepreneur who started
this successful restaurant and catering business
in September of 2001. Chris is a huge fan of Broaster
Chicken®. “The chicken’s popularity
continues to grow, not only for our restaurant
business, but it’s a popular catering choice
for customers”, say Chris. “Recent
Broaster carry-out orders have ranged from 300-500
pieces of chicken,” he adds.
Chris and his dedicated
employees continue to educate customers about
Broaster Chicken® by letting them know that
Nonna’s Genuine Broaster Chicken® is
marinated overnight, then coated with special
seasonings and pressure fried in Canola oil, resulting
in chicken that’s more moist and flavorful
with less fat and fewer calories.
In addition to offering
other traditional American fare such as Top Round
of Beef au jus, Pork Chops, and Seafood, Nonna’s
also prepares authentic Italian dishes using recipes
originally perfected by Chris’ grandmother
in Italy. Nonna’s is also famous for their
house salad and dressing, prepared with fresh
ingredients.
Nonna’s prides
themselves on their prompt and efficient service
partnered with great tasting food. Two key ingredients
to Nonna’s success are Chris Mayer and his
great employees. Manager, Trisha Mister, comments:
“Chris is a great guy to work for; people
want to work for him because it’s clear
he loves what he’s doing and that he has
a great level of enthusiasm with customers and
employees, which is contagious.” “Chefs
Michael Clay and Atta Taylor do an excellent job
to ensure that Genuine Broaster Chicken is always
fresh and delicious,” she adds.
With the delicious foods they offer, as recognized
by their regular patrons, and now formally by
The Broaster Company, the future is bright for
this friendly, small town favorite.
