"Favorite Foods, as their name suggests, is our favorite food vendor. They are very accommodating throughout the organization, from their salesman to their delivery drivers. I would highly recommend them to anyone in the food service industry."
The Puritan history has a very deep and storied tradition. From its opening in 1917, the hard work and caring of the Pappas and Canotas families have lent a tremendous amount of pride to the Puritan name. “Chicken tenders” actually originated at the Puritan and to this day are still the most requested dish on the menu! As well, the boneless breast of chicken with our famous special sauce (a creation of Charlie Pappas) is still the most asked about recipe on the menu.
"Partnering with Favorite Foods has been a key ingredient to 23 years of success serving the seacoast area for the Sunrise Grill!"
Here at the Sunrise Grill, we have been serving the seacoast breakfast and lunch since 1992. Fast, friendly and affordable. Founded in Portsmouth, N.H. In 1990, the grill was relocated to Kittery ME. in 1992 by one of the original founders and has been continually operated under the same ownership since that move.
"As the owner of an independent restaurant for the last 21 years, I have seen a lot of changes in the industry. I have watched as the large corporate purveyors got.... larger, and I have watched as they created policies which prevented their sales team from providing good service. I am an independent operator because I didn't want to work in the corporate sector. When I signed on with Favorite foods, I was pleased with the independent Vibe that runs through the whole company. From Chris, the owner, to Ken the sales rep, Lee in the office or Kim as a driver. Changes, special orders, problems, no longer took weeks to pass through corporate layers. I am very happy with my relationship with Favorite Foods, and I would gladly recommend them to anyone in this business."

Me and Ollie’s first loaf of bread came out of the oven in June of 1998. The bakery was in the old button factory on Islington Street in Portsmouth. We are now located downtown Exeter, NH.
They’re a family owned business named after our three sons Max, Eli and Ollie. They hope you enjoy their bread as much as they enjoy baking it and serving it up to you!
It all starts with their wheat, the foundation of their baked goods. The certified organic hard red wheat berries are grown for them in northern Montana. They mill their own flour in their Portsmouth bakery insuring the best tasting, most nutritious bread available. They then deliver the fresh bread to their Exeter cafe daily.
After all, it’s the bread that makes the sandwich! With their scratch made breads, house made spreads and select meats, cheeses, and veggies they craft their yummy sandwiches. They bake cookies, muffins, scones from scratch, with ingredients you’d have in your own kitchen. Fresh salads are made to order and are served with a slice of their bread. They serve soup when the weather gets cold, with a slice of their bread to dunk.
"We here at Cotton really like our partnership with Favorite Foods. They are a local company that treats you like family and gives us the care and respect that we need to be successful. I really like personal care that we get through our Sales Representative Mike Simmons. He treats us like we are his only account, although I know he is very busy taking care of others. Over past 10 years we have really only had 2 sales representatives( the first one retired), which shows us their commitment to their employees. Favorite Foods is a great Company to work with."
