Company Introduction

Our nuggets were born back when Bruce Springsteen was blaring on vinyls and disco vibes were in full swing. The original owner, Lou Iandoli, opened Garden Poultry in the heart
of Greenwich, CT. In 1978, he opened our flagship location on Sound Beach Avenue under the name of Garden Catering and a legend was born.
Sadly, Mr. Iandoli passed away in 1989 but his legacy continued. Nugget lovers rejoiced as Frank Carpenteri Sr. bought the business and the secret recipes for Garden Catering's famous fried chicken. The nuggets lived on.
Frank’s son & daughter now run the business, and with 8 locations in CT and NY, continue to spread the nugget love to those far & wide.
