Ridgewood NJ, b.good-Ridgewood officially opened on Wednesday. They officially start making their real food in Ridgewood (381 Route 17 South, between the Paramus Road and Linwood Ave exits).Located between the Paramus Road and Linwood ave exits.
The restaurant is the brain child of boyhood friends Anthony and Jon who met in the 6th grade. Their friendship is initially based on the fact that they both love the Boston Celtics and hate the L.A. Lakers and school.
In October of 2002 Anthony drafts the first of many business plans that the team will write. The more they learn about the restaurant business, the more daunting their dream appears. But, they agree that if they work together, they can get it done.
By February of 2003 Anthony and Jon continue their fight over the menu. Jon takes the practical approach of making sure the menu is manageable. Anthony takes the idealistic approach of trying to offer everything that a customer may want. Both, at points throughout these arguments, want to physically hurt the other.
The company website says ; ” who they were two best friends ,grew up eating in our uncle’s kitchen. Anthony’s Uncle Faris served us the best homemade food. Fifteen years later, we started a business together around a simple idea – make fast-food “real” by making it the way it should be… by people not factories. See, we loved fast-food but hated how it made us feel. So, we created a place where you can feel good about the food you eat.When we were growing up, Uncle Faris would always leave us with pieces of advice – “take it easy”, “live life”, and most of all “be good”.
