T
al Sasson, 33, was born
in Tel Aviv, Israel, and
moved to America
almost 10 years ago. Sasson is
the proud owner of the Pita
Post food trucks but still held
onto his dream of owning
his own brick-and-mortar
restaurant.
Sasson started his first
Pita Post food truck in 2013,
beginning his journey to
restaurant ownership. Sasson
took the Pita Post food truck
around the state of Michigan,
attending festivals, serving
lunch at office complexes and
providing catering. The Pita
Post is also a permanent food
truck at the Detroit Fleet in
Ferndale.
The chance to open his own
brick-and-mortar restaurant
finally presented itself at the
Maple Theater in Bloomfield
Township.
“We knew Bloomfield very
well and knew that it was the
best territory for our food,
”
Sasson said. “The owners
(Jon and Lauren Goldstein)
used to book our food truck
for events, and they gave us
the opportunity to showcase
our food here, and we’
re very
thankful for this partnership.
”
Customers came out and
celebrated Sasson’
s opening
of the Pita Post at the Maple
Theater on Nov. 20. “The
turnout was better than
expected and now our
customers are able to enjoy
our food all year-round,
”
Sasson said.
The Pita Post restaurant
serves the same fresh
and healthy “modern”
Mediterranean cuisine that
customers have grown to love
from his food trucks. But,
Sasson has spiced it up and
has added some new items to
the menu. He is also planning
to incorporate special meals
on certain days and begin
hosting brunches on Sundays.
“We put our own twist
on our ingredients and our
presentation,
” Sasson said. “We
also pride ourselves on our
pocket pitas, which are not
like the wraps you see at most
places. Our pita is also hand-
crafted and is all-natural with
no preservatives.
”
Sasson still plans to run
the Pita Post food trucks
throughout the summer, but
until then, be sure to check out
the new brick-and-mortar.
