Jacob Keller is originally from Ohio and was raised in North Carolina. In 2005, he moved out west to pursue the ski bum life. Six years ago, they"were working for the same concessionaire ," Keller recalls."I had an office role, and she was working at the coffee shop. Every time I was at the airport, I'd go visit the coffee shop. I just kind of started stalking her for about two years, and then I finally got up the nerve to talk to her, and it blossomed from there."
Their combined expertise, along with the noticeable lack of authentic Nepali cuisine in the area, motivated the couple to launch a food business of their own, and the pandemic proved to be the catalyst they needed."A year in operations during COVID at the airport drove me crazy, and I decided that we had an opportunity to really serve her community," Keller says.
