The Tasty Yolk Opens New Storefront In Stratford

STRATFORD, CT — The owners of the Tasty Yolk are officially opening the popular gourmet breakfast sandwich shop’s second storefront location in Stratford on Wednesday.

The Tasty Yolk is located at 3530 Main St. in Paradise Green. It will be open from 7 a.m. to 2 p.m. on the first day on Oct. 20.

Owners Eric Felitto and Mike Bertanza also operate three food trucks in Bridgeport, Southport and Fairfield, along with a storefront in the Black Rock section of Bridgeport. They recently announced the opening of the Stratford storefront in a post on Facebook.

“This is the news you’ve all been waiting for!” they wrote. “We are so eggcited to announce the official opening of the Stratford Tasty Yolk Storefront will be Wednesday, October 20th!

“Chef/Owner Eric & his wife Allie are residents of Stratford and couldn’t be happier to open a new location in the town they call home!”

They told the Connecticut Post that Stratford will carry the same menu as the Black Rock storefront but won’t offer dinner hours until mid-November.

Felitto and Bertanza, who met while they were in third grade at Stratfield Elementary School in Fairfield, launched their first Tasty Yolk breakfast food truck in 2016.

"Their intentions were to remain at their primary jobs, but get their own piece of the pie by having a breakfast business," according to The Tasty Yolk website. "They could work the truck before going into their primary jobs. Michael Bertanza, who was a financial adviser at the time, left his job when the two decided to open their second truck in November 14, 2017. The business is now a success! Michael works the truck with his wife, Shekinah Bertanza. Eric Works the truck with his wife, Allison McHale, who also heads their social media in addition to cooking on the truck. You could say it's a family business."
