History

[edit]

Maggie Pearson founded Feast & Fettle in 2016 with Nicole Nix, growing the service out of her private chef business to scale her offerings and serve more households.[2]

Carlos Ventura became CEO in 2018.[3]

By 2022, the company was among the top 2% of Inc. 5000's Fastest Growing Private Companies.[4]

In 2023, Feast & Fettle expanded into retail with a physical location, The Feast & Fettle Fridge, in Pawtucket, RI. This store sells prepared breakfast, lunch, and dinner. The Fridge also carries the Class B Victualer Liquor License and offers a selection of wine and beer.[5]
