Fressers Hitchin’ Kitchen – it’s a dream come true for Debbie Grossman, chef-owner of Fressers Courtyard Café and Catering. While it may not be the food truck she’d planned on, she’s ready to show off her new Hitchin’ Kitchin.
A graduate of The Culinary Institute of America, Deb has food service in her blood. Her grandparents owned a luncheonette in New Haven, Connecticut, for years, speaking Yiddish around the kids. That’s where the name “Fressers” comes from. To fress in Yiddish means to eat heartily. Deb named Fressers in the spirit of her grandmother. She grew up working in various restaurants, and owned The Brookhaven Café in Atlanta before moving to Highlands in 1998.
Deb is one of the most community-minded business owners around and dearly loves to participate in the many activities on the Highlands-Cashiers Plateau. The Hitchin’ Kitchen now allows her to take Fressers on the road. It’s a bright red pull-behind that incorporates a grill, refrigeration, and everything needed to cater on site. This year she’ll be at the Groovin’ on the Green concerts in Cashiers each Friday night and will be catering other private and corporate events.
Fressers Courtyard Café and Catering has long been known for providing food for many events in the area, from elegant private parties to craft shows, and Grossman sees this new addition as a way to provide even better service to her catering clients. If you’re having a barbecue, low country boil, or want carved tenderloin, Fressers can accommodate your needs.
Imagine having a family reunion without the hassle of deciding who is bringing what dish to the gathering. Or worse, having 4 different kinds of pasta salad and 5 bowls of chips. Fressers Hitchin’ Kitchen can take the heat off the cook and out of the kitchen.
Her café is tucked away in Highlands Village Square, sandwiched between Wolfgang’s Restaurant and Kelsey-Hutchinson Founders Park and has become known for its fast, fresh, fun menu and personalized catering.
