THE IDEA BEHIND THE “WICKED SMAHHT CHOURICO CAHT” ALL STARTED FROM MY OWN PERSONAL JOURNEY LEAVING BEHIND MY ORIGINS IN FALL RIVER, MASSACHUSETTES, FOR A FRESH START IN PORTLAND,MAINE. FALL RIVER BOASTS A SIGNIFICANT PORTUGUESE HERITAGE AS IT IS WHERE MANY IMMIGRANTS FROM THE AZORES SETTLED; FALL RIVER IS COMMOMLY REFERRED TO AS “LITTLE PORTUGAL”, AS THE PORTUGUESE CULTURE LIVES ON THROUGH THE CITY’S UNIQUE FOOD, FESTIVALS,AND LANGUAGE. FALL RIVER IS ALSO KNOWN FOR ITS FAMOUS CONEY ISLAND HOT DOG. IT IS A HOT DOG SERVED WITH MUSTARD, CONEY SAUCE (a ground beef base, not containing beans, that is much looser than a chili consistency),AND FINELY CHOPPED ONION; RESIDENTS KNOW THIS STYLE DOG BY ORDERING THEM “WITH THE WORKS”.

THIS IS WHERE THE NAME OF THE BUSINESS CAME INTO PLAY. FALL RIVER IS KNOWN FOR ITS HEAVY ACCENT OF DROPPING THE LETTER “R” IN ITS PRONUNCIATIONS AND THUS, THE “WICKED SMAHHT CHOURICO CAHT” (KERRI’S ONE NIGHT STAND).LEAVING BEHIND ALL THE THIS TRADITIONAL FLAVOR AND FLARE THAT IS UNIQUE ONLY TO THE AREA OF FALL RIVER WAS NOT EASY AND IS EXACTLY WHAT INSPIRED ME TO BRING “A TASTE FROM BACK HOME” TO MAINE!

WITH THE HELP & SUPPORT OF MY AMAZING KIDS, FAMILY & FRIENDS I WAS ABLE TO BRING THIS DREAM TO FRUITION! NOW LETS EAT!!!!!
