b.good is on a mission to feed and fuel busy, hungry people who want to eat well, revitalize, and add the consumption of fresh, organic, from scratch foods made with real ingredients to their lifestyle. Owners Steve and Molli Hourihan opened their neighborhood eatery in the summer of 2015, taking a leap of faith, leaving the corporate world behind to create a business of their own in their hometown of Fairfield.

Steve and Molli learned about the Boston born (2004) brand through a family member who introduced them to b.good owners Anthony Ackil and Jon Olinto. Upon seeing the business plan for this “real food fast” concept, one that both Steve and Molli could connect with, they became early investors in the company in 2006. Steve continued with his job as a natural gas commodities trader and Molli laid roots in Fairfield for her growing family. Then is 2014, Anthony made an investor call to Steve, letting him know of plans to open a store in Fairfield. The timing was right; Steve was ready to do something more meaningful with his life, and so the transition from trader to restaurateur was made!

During the build out of 1460 Post Road, Steve trained in b.good’s Glastonbury location for 6-months while Molli, a Harvard Business School graduate, tapped into the brand’s identity and began formulating marketing strategies for their local business.

“It was a real learning curve, “says Steve, “It was a crash course in sustainability, food prep, and restaurant life all in one. But I was excited to dive into something new and run a business with a product and a mission I believed in.” 

b.good Fairfield is a charming, counter-serve, restaurant with a warm aura, from its stone fireplace and wood furnishings, to its wood beamed ceiling, chalkboard menus and a map of the Connecticut farms whose ingredients are featured throughout the menu. Great information about the New England resources used and b.good’s wholesome ingredients can be found here.
