The 3 A.M. story
A few drinks. A tray of sliders. Here we are.
Nobody was trying to start a company. Mike made a tray of chicken-avocado sliders after a few drinks and realized ketchup, mustard, and mayo were not invited.
The kitchen was full, the night was still going, and the sliders needed something better. So Mike started mixing. Carlo helped dial it in.
Somehow, Mike remembered the recipe the next morning. It still tasted great.
Then we put it on a menu
Then people started asking for more.
Mike's friend Carlo Marsini, chef and restaurateur, put it on the menu at Marsini's Kitchen.
At Marsini's Kitchen, the late-night experiment landed on the menu. People ordered it, ordered it again, then started asking for pints and quarts to take home.
100,000+
restaurant orders before we ever put King Sauce in a retail bottle.
Grand Royal Foods
Good food. Good people. That's the whole thing.
King Sauce is bottled now. We still make it. We still listen to the people eating it.
Mike, Bryan, and Carlo support the restaurants, stores, friends, and local causes that support us. When our people need a hand, we show up.
We have a good time, make the sauce, and keep going.
Be cool. Do stuff. Make stuff. Help others.
