Eating with the Seasons

Bon Appétit was founded by Fedele Bauccio with a mobile kitchen, a used card

table for a desk, and big plans.

We now serve more than 140 million meals a year in 32 states.

Bon Appétit is the leading progressive light in corporate and institutional food service and an inspiration to all of us in

the food world.
