East Side Entrees is a major supplier of nutritious food products to school systems throughout America. We also provide food products to community foodservice organizations, and are expanding soon to the retail marketplace.

Headquartered in Woodbury, NY, East Side Entrees was established in 1998 by founder and CEO Gary Davis. Starting with 3 initial products, the company has grown to offer a full complement of frozen foods, cheeses and milk – and our newest, fastest growing flagship brand, Breakfast Breaks. The success of Breakfast BREAKS since its introduction in 2005, has spawned Meal BREAKS, Snack BREAKS and a forthcoming retail product line of Breakfast BREAKS.

We have experienced outstanding growth, due in large part to the response by school foodservice directors. When they provide feedback on our products, we listen. This has helped us improve our products and processes. Today, we offer our products to schools nationwide.

At ESE, we are passionate about school foodservice. For an item to become part of the ESE product line it must meet the following criteria:

  • nutritious product that tastes great
  • helps increase participation in the school program
  • cost-effective and convenient to serve

Gary Davis, CEO

“In our public schools there are over 22 million children eligible for a free or reduced priced breakfast. Sadly only some 7 million of these children are being reached. Federal Entitlement funding is in place and the benefits of starting the day with a good healthy breakfast make it incumbent that we find a solution. We believe that Breakfast BREAKS provides the schools with an opportunity to reach millions of eligible students.”
