Neron's Story
Foodies LLC (Foodies DMV) started as an idea during the pandemic, where Neron turned one of his greatest passions into a legitimate business. He always had a passion for cooking as a young kid and attempting new recipes, but also loved to host events and ensure that his friends and family had a good time, while eating amazing food. He is the embodiment of a foodie and has a strong love for trying different foods from all cultures, so the business name naturally derived from that term. Not to mention, his family is originally from San Turce, Puerto Rico and Bronx NY. He will continue growing the brand, through Foodies merchandise, sauces/dry rubs, and executing more curated events. You can learn more about him in his book "The Art of the Pivot", where he details his real life experiences that led him to pursue culinary full-time.
