Press release 6-8-2009

Home Cookin’ comes to Romeo, Michigan
Monday, June 08, 2009

Home Cookin’ 2 Go was founded in 2009 by Tom and Lori Potrzuski at 66850 Van Dyke in Romeo, Michigan. The couple came up with the concept after thinking about the fact that it so hard to find good food at a reasonable price from a carry out style restaurant. Both Tom and Lori were entrepreneurial types and saw an opportunity when it was presented to bring a fast, friendly, cost effective ‘other choice’ to the Romeo area. They found a nice little spot to add their special touch and bring in some great menu items.

Tom learned the restaurant business working part time while still attending high school. His service to his country in the United States Navy was dedicated to Mess Management (Navy for cooking). When he departed from the Navy he found himself raising a family on the Western coast of Florida working for new, up and coming companies like Bennigans’ and small independent kitchens as well. The River Wilderness Country Club was Tom’s last stop in Florida where he spent several years cooking for course pro Paul Azinger.

Tom found his way back home to Michigan and it wasn’t long before he was advancing quickly with the Mr. B’s group. He opened several locations for Mr. B’s and got the places up and running as well as launching his own bagel shop in Lake Orion, Michigan in the mid 90’s. Tom and Lori have so much experience in the food business that opening a place to share their talents only made sense. They have brought those talents to Romeo with the philosophy that “There are no strangers here, only friends we have not yet met”. You will most likely bump into your friends or neighbors when you drop in for some tasty carry out or one of the dozens of fresh baked breads and tantilizing deserts. They have taken care of all the cooking for you so that your busy schedule doesn’t have to limit your dinning options.

Over the years, Tom has expanded and perfected his menu. His pizzas are sure to receive numerous awards and his customers keep coming back for more! Home Cookin’ features New York Style pizza and it is a "must try". His five cheese pies tempt with a "pound of cheese". They are turning out pizza for the meat lovers or for meat haters. Oven toasted grinders and premier salads ready to go in minutes. Take out specialities include a spectacular Pot-roast dinner, pork roast, or oven roasted turkey, all with potato and a vegetable appropriate for the meat selection in addition to one of the six home-made soups daily. BBQ ribs melt in your mouth, are tender and meaty and smothered in a special BBQ sauce recipe that has no match!
