Services
Buddy's Kitchen was founded near Minneapolis, Minnesota in 1974 by Nils "Buddy" Eian. The first Buddy's product - a mouthwatering, hand-cooked omelet made for North Central Airlines - remains a signature Buddy's product to this day. Until 2007, Buddy's focused primarily on airline customers. Since 2007, the company has meaningfully diversified its customer base and capabilities and opened a second, larger production facility in 2016.
