When John Gasquet owned Empire Coffee, customers would often ask him where he got certain items on his menu and he would point him to that baker or this farmer. So after Empire closed, Gasquet found a new career path acting as a middleman between local purveyors and restaurants.
It was in this role that Gasquet saw a sausage-shaped niche to be filled. Just in time for St. Patrick’s Day, Gasquet and his partner Fergus Nolan are launching F Nolan & Sons Victuallers, which provides Irish sausages, puddings, and rashers to pubs and restaurants in the region.
