Our Concept

Gourmet United is a unique, Chef inspired take-out, delivery and a seasonal patio (BYOB), cooking up gourmet food from celebrated chefs, with multiple chef-driven kitchens under one roof. This new Easton based meal delivery service will feature the very best food spearheaded by award winning Chef Prasad Chirnomula. Gourmet United will be starting with 2 cuisines (Indian and Mexican) and will expand to create more variety with chef inspired hand-crafted menus, sourced locally through relationships with CT farms. You never have to settle for a single cuisine for your family again…savor them all and have it delivered directly to your doorstep.

Chef Prasad

Chef Prasad's culinary training began at an early age; he learned how to cook by his mother's side. Inspired by food and by hospitality, the eighteen-year-old bucked his family's expectations that he would be a doctor, and instead pursued an education at the Food Craft Institute of Poona, where he not only studied culinary arts, but also hotel and restaurant management.

During his time at school, he worked at the Ritz Hotel in Hyderabad, learning about hospitality from one of his country's finest hotels. While there, he spent every free moment he had in the Ritz kitchens to learn everything he could from their chefs. Later, after graduating first in his class at Food Craft, he became director of food and beverage at the Ritz, where, at the age of 22, he managed a work force of 250 employees. He learned then how to lead teams and recognize the talents of his employees, and how to work together to create an unparalleled experience for his guests.

Easton Village Store

The location of Gourmet United has a long standing and important history to the town of Easton!

George Halzack emigrated to the United States in 1910, from Bayerovch, Czechoslovakia and married Julia Kochiss of Easton in 1920. In 1923, they purchased from Albert Van Wert and then built the store. It would be known as Halzack's Country Store and served Easton for decades. In more recent times it has been operated as the Easton Village Store and now as Gourmet United.

We are focused on being able to continue the building as a source of pride for Easton and a way to connect with friends and family. Whether it be eating great food at home or on the patio!
