Restaurant Week Spotlight: The Famished Frog

Nearly 50 businesses are participating in the 2013 Morristown Restaurant Week, presented through Sunday by Morristown Partnership with its partners The Star Ledger, Constellation Wines and Double Cross Vodka,

Patch spoke with one of the participants, The Famished Frog owner Jack Welch:

When did your business open? Is it locally owned?

Our business opened in fall of 1999.  It is owned by Jeff Beers of Mendham, Jim Finnegan of Stirling & Jack Welch of Basking Ridge...so yes it is locally owned. 

What types of services/products do you offer?

We are a full-service restaurant with three different bars. We offer private party accommodations for groups up to 100 people.

Why did you decide to open your business in Morristown?

We opened in Morristown because we had previously operated The Office Restaurant (which we sold) and knew it was a great restaurant town. 

How did you get your start?

We all went to college for hospitality and began our business in a luncheonette in Union, NJ in 1971.

What is your mission/goal as a Morristown business owner?

We enjoy making people happy in Morristown at our restaurant.
