Eileen and Bill Gaddy moved from the big city of Charlotte, North Carolina in 2003, as they sought a simpler way of life for their family. They were seeking a nice community in which to raise their three children. Their move brought them to Sugar Grove, North Carolina, not far from Valle Crucis.
The Gaddys will become part of the Johnson County community as Cook’s Cafeteria opens for business this Wednesday, July 1, 2009. Eileen breezed into Cook’s on this past warm, Friday afternoon, with an easy smile and announced, “We are excited about being a part of a small community.” The new restaurant will officially be a division of Gadabouts, a restaurant and catering business located in the historic area of Valle Crucis. According to Eileen Gaddy, the new restaurant will retain the name of Cook’s Cafeteria. “It feels like a Cook’s,” Eileen declared.
Eileen and Bill Gaddy have been in food services since 1984. Their goal is to bring the quality of food they offer in their catering business to Johnson County in a country style cafeteria, giving it a family atmosphere with good home cooking.
