IN 1957 NED AMATO OPENED AMATOSÂ’ BAKERY. HAVING A WIFE AND 4 KIDS HE WAS A HARD WORKING MAN. BEING A BAKER ALL OF HIS LIFE, IT WASNÂ’T LONG BEFORE THE PEOPLE STARTED TO ENJOY HIS FINE BAKED GOODS.
STEVE, TONY AND MICHAEL, HIS 3 SONS, WORKED IN THE BAKERY WITH HIM. HIS MOM WORKED IN THE STORE.
AS A FAMILY THEY BUILT A POPULAR BAKERY BUSINESS IN BENSONHURST BROOKLYN. HE TAUGHT US THAT QUALITY AND FRESHNESS WAS FIRST AND THAT "BREAD WAS LIKE LOVE AND NEEDED TO BE MADE FRESH EVERY DAY."
DAD WAS THE BEST BAKER I HAVE EVER KNOWN.
ALMOST 50 YEARS AFTER I AM STILL KEEPING UP WITH HIS LEGACY.
