Join the founders of Torretta Fine Foods, Stephen Caruso and Joan Osman (née Caruso), for a sampling of different dishes featuring Carl's Original Recipe Italian Sausage!

About Stephen and Joan: “We are Kansas City natives and the founders of Torretta Fine Foods, the home of Carl's Original Recipe Italian Sausage. Our love of food and cooking was cultivated at a young age. We spent many weekends in the kitchen with family and friends sharing stories while we prepared for Sunday dinners. Recently, we found a recipe for "Caruso's Restaurant Italian Sausage" in a collection of our dad's cookbooks. We knew it must be our Grandpa, Carl Caruso's, recipe from the small family restaurant he owned in the 1950’s. After making one batch, we knew we wanted to share our family’s delicious recipes again using premium ingredients and local production. The name Torretta Fine Foods was inspired by the town in Sicily our family immigrated from many years ago. Carl's Original Recipe Italian Sausage is, of course, named in honor of Grandpa Carl. Our mission is to bring people together to enjoy high quality, delicious food.”
