That's when his father taught him how to scramble eggs while standing on a kitchen chair so he could reach the stove. It's no surprise that he and wife, Kaylee, find themselves in the food business. While he's always been interested in the farm to fork movement, Dan was challenged early on in his business by H. Michael Casper to "Always buy and support local." since then it has become a point of pride for the business. "A lot of effort goes into sourcing locally." It includes contacting farms individually and then picking up or shipping the goods rather than just placing an order with one supplier. Honoring local and respecting the impact to farmers are important for Dan. He takes pride that, "everything is locally sourced but the buns, …and even those are made by a Minnesota company!" While those efforts are reflected in a higher price, they take pride in keeping the price as low as possible for the value of the product.
