It is with sadness, that we share that Big Chief’s original Burger Flipper, Charles “Charlie” DeCaesteker, has passed.
We want to extend our deepest condolences to his wife, Nelly, and their beautiful children and families.
I was fortunate to have Charlie and Nelly for lunch and a tour when I purchased the business back in 2020.
His first words to me when we met that day were, “You’re gonna need 26 tons of gravel in that driveway!”
I hope I can continue to make Charlie proud of his legacy!
