Our Story
Starting a gourmet meal prep company has been a dream of local trainer and nutritionist John McGuire for over a decade. In 2011, John founded Stormborn Strength & Fitness, which is a fitness facility specializing in group classes and personal training. Since then John has helped and inspired his clients in the Howard Beach community to improve their lifestyle through diet and exercise.
Doreen DeCandia is one of Johns long time clients, friends and one of many success stories. Doreen and her family own Lenny's Clam Bar which is an iconic Italian restaurant located in Howard Beach. The conversation of starting a meal prep company was a constant between the 2 of them for years.
The idea got some real traction when Doreen had a conversation about the program with Matt Peterson.
Matt is the executive chef at Roma View Catering in Howard Beach and has worked there for 12 years. His culinary experience spans over the course of 15 years. Matt prides himself with always using the freshest ingredients while creating his cuisine by infusing his dishes with creativity and innovation. Doreen and John knew that Matt would be the perfect addition to devise the ideal trio.
