Her Big Idea Features Liz Neumark
Liz shares her journey on establishing Great Performances as the leading independent female-owned catering company in NYC.
Established in 2013, Branch Patty is a family owned business focused on the art of making Jamaican-style patties. As a Caribbean child, Samuel Branch grew up with a love of patties. He perfected his recipes and technique through his skill and perseverance as a professional chef. Branch Patty was re-launched in 2017 with his wife Lisa. Together they emphasize serving with kindness and integrity as primary ingredients. They don’t believe in serving anything they wouldn’t serve their own children! Branch patties are produced by hand in small batches. We look forward to serving you the “Branch Patty Experience.”
We believe in using real foods & not cutting corners. We love creating Caribbean flavors that make you feel good.
We source with integrity to get the best ingredients from farms and suppliers that are committed to the same values as we are.
We practice sustainability because we know these decisions will change the world and affect our children’s children.
We firmly believe in supporting other small businesses & our local community.
We love our customers and will feed them with the same respect we feed our own family.
We believe in paying it forward & donating as much as possible.
