Rock and Wrap it Up at Panchos

A few months ago, I decided to try-out Facebook, initially for the purpose of figuring out how to market my business. I completed a personal profile just to get my feet wet and learn about how it all works. After 2 weeks, I reconnected with a bunch of high school friends and acquaintances. On one hand, it felt like I never left high school and, on the other hand, when looking at all the pictures of husbands and kids, it felt like high school was forever ago. What a blast from the past!

I reacquainted with one friend, in particular, who just happens to be a local entrepreneur. Drew Moss and I hadn’t spoken in about 20 years. It was amazing to find out how he had pursued many of his passions and dreams and found his way to becoming a restauranteur. With experience and pursuits in the film industry under his belt, Drew is both a passionate musician involved with a band called Goliath and part owner in Panchos Border Grill, a Tex-Mex restaurant with a roadside feel, with locations in Bethpage, Great Neck and Island Park.

The day we interviewed Drew he was hosting a fundraiser for Rock and Wrap It Up, an independent anti-poverty think tank developing innovative greening solutions to the pressing issues of hunger and poverty in America. Rock and Wrap it Up developed the concept of ‘contractual obligation of leftover food’ giving restaurants and catering halls the ability to donate leftovers. The night was filled with chips, home-made salsa, amazing guacamole, delicious fajitas, tasty margaritas, and live music. The restaurant has a powerful sense of community and is definitely a place for the whole family.

Besides successfully managing a restaurant and being a husband and father of 2 adoring children, Drew has demonstrated the fortitude and drive that an entrepreneur must display. He continues to explore and pursue his passions and challenge his creative, entrepreneurial spirit.
