Rudy's began in 1983 when two brothers, Joe and John Celentano, turned a request for food takeout from their family's restaurant near Teterboro Airport in New Jersey into a company that is the leader in the $150 million business aviation in­flight catering industry. Brothers Sal and Rudy Celentano opened a family restaurant with an Italian flair in 1976. Some of its clientele came from people working at Teterboro Airport. The aviation crowd liked the food and wanted the Celentano’s to furnish boxed meals for their aircraft passengers. The brothers declined, but Sal's sons Joe and John saw the opportunity, and "Rudy's Inflight Catering" was born. In 1983, the brothers produced meals for about 16 aircraft a week. They were doing 15 to 20 aircraft a day, a year and a half later. Today, Rudy's provides meals for an average of 400 flights a day out of New York and Washington DC area airports, a number that can triple on peak days. Rudy's Inflight Catering has grown over the past 20 years from a 2,000 square foot kitchen to a 17,000 square foot building in Teterboro. Rudy's Inflight Catering also has facilities located directly on the field at Westchester County Airport in New York and in Chantilly, Virginia, located 5 miles from Dulles International Airport.
