On a snowy Christmas Eve in 2005, chef Patrizia Spafford was preparing a feast for a private client. He respected and enjoyed her delectable creations so much that he suggested she bring her culinary expertise and innovative style to a broader audience. Soon after, Patrizia opened a fabulous little shop on Audrey Avenue in the charming and historic hamlet of Oyster Bay. The rest, as they say, is history...
