## Story

Famous Toastery , founded by two Long Islanders, plans to open their first location in Commack this fall between late October and early November.

The better breakfast concept began in Huntersville, North Carolina, in a small house-turned restaurant where friends Brian Burchill and Robert Maynard opened their first eatery.

"Coming back to New York is special to me with roots on Long Island, and my dad, who is a former lieutenant of the FDNY, still lives in Smithtown,” Maynard, Famous Toastery’s CEO, said.

Sydney Creagh is a Senior Account Manager at No Limit Agency. She graduated from the the University of Iowa with a Journalism and Creative Writing major. Sydney has lived in Chicago for the last 5 years, but still loves walking the city and exploring new neighborhoods - especially during the summer months.
