View this post on Instagram A post shared by The Breakfast Box (@thebreakfastboxllc)Backstory: Williamson, an Akron native with family ties to the east and west sides of town, is 2006 graduate of Firestone High School. His love for food began in elementary school. Meanwhile, breakfast meals were the first foods he learned to prepare. He learned plenty from a family of cooks, including his great-grandmother, whose macaroni and cheese earned high praise. In 2018, he launched a hot dog cart; three years later, The Breakfast Box followed. The two jobs marked his entry into the restaurant industry. For menu inspiration, Williamson, 36, watches cooking shows, and even “The Bear,” a comedy-drama on Hulu. He also utilizes social media and customer feedback. When the husband and father of five isn’t preparing breakfast menu items, he’s working his second-shift job at a local post office. How to buy: The Breakfast Box is open Tuesdays through Fridays from 7 a.m. to 1 p.m. and Saturdays and Sundays from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. (closed on Mondays).
