Adam Sandler Visits Fairfield Eatery

FAIRFIELD, CT — A Fairfield business welcomed an unexpected celebrity guest Monday when Adam Sandler stopped in at Fred 06825.

The comedy star came by about 3 p.m. to purchase some food in preparation for the Yom Kippur break-fast, according to owner Fred Kaskowitz.

“I was almost sure it was him … then he opened his mouth,” Kaskowitz said, adding he could tell the customer was Sandler from his voice.

Sandler, who wore casual attire and a face mask, posed for photos with the staff, although he was careful to maintain social distancing, according to Kaskowitz.

“It was just so nice,” said Kaskowitz, who noted employee Marisol Ballejo was particularly starstruck and excited to get a picture with Sandler.

Sandler was driving to Philadelphia, Kaskowitz said, when he stopped in Fairfield and picked up some stuffed peppers, meatballs and chicken cutlets at Fred 06825. The business also included a complimentary brownie.

Sandler’s visit to Fred 06825 has attracted lots of attention online. A photo of Sandler at the business was posted to the Facebook group Fairfield County Local Curbside and Takeout & Delivery Restaurants. It had more than 800 reactions and over 100 comments as of Tuesday evening.

“It was fun for us,” Kaskowitz said.

Fred 06825 opened in 2018. The business, located at 2439 Black Rock Turnpike, provides catering and takeout. Its offerings include prepared meals, a salad bar, grab-and-go options and homemade desserts.
