About the Owner - Casey Todd

I had the chance to chat with Casey ahead of the big visit from the America's Best Restaurant crew. He was born and raised in Kentucky and has had restaurant fever since he was 14 years old.

How long have you been in the restaurant business?

"I started selling shaved ice with my brother when I was 14, and then took over the business at 18. I spent four years away and fell in love with the restaurant industry. So, I ran a seafood restaurant in Bowling Green for 7 years before returning to Henderson."
