Part 2/8:
Meet Anthony Demonte, an essential figure in the Defonte's narrative. After being approached by his partner, Nicky Defonte, to take over the business 24 years ago, the duo transformed Defonte's into a staple of the Brooklyn food scene. Larry Demonte, Anthony's father and a former employee, has been a significant part of the journey, imparting his wisdom and experience. Despite not being a Defonte by name, his lifelong connection to the business is palpable as he fondly reflects on those early days of learning and growing within the deli's walls.
