Our story

"It wasn't a
business idea.
It was a need."

Two paths that needed each other. A solution built from both sides of the counter.

The path of need

When eating out
becomes
a risk.

Reveca developed a gluten intolerance and learned what anyone in her situation knows well: eating out in New York, when your body doesn't forgive mistakes, almost always means the same thing — a sad salad as the only option, or crossing your fingers that the kitchen actually understands what "gluten-free" means.

Food that was both good and safe was nearly impossible to find. That need didn't stay a complaint — it led her to study nutrition, and she's still deepening that training at Nutri Academy, focused on Modern Nutrition as a lifestyle: not a temporary diet, but a sustainable way to eat and live.

"If it doesn't exist, I'll build it."
The path of craft

More than a decade
perfecting
the craft.

Máximo had over a decade of food safety certification and years in New York's healthy kitchens, sharpening the craft of cooking fast, clean, and well, every single day. He had the skill — what he was missing was the place and the reason to put it toward something of his own.

Her need gave his experience a purpose, and his experience gave her need a place to finally be solved. That's Ebbie.

The name

Ebbie — a stone
of help along the way.

"Ebbie" comes from "Ebenezer" — a stone of help, a marker of strength along the road. That's exactly what Ebbie wants to be for every client: something dependable to lean on in a busy day.

Not a business idea that came out of a spreadsheet — a real solution, built by two people who lived the problem from both sides of the counter before deciding to solve it together.
