Business Owner

Chef Joseph Borsuk: worked his way up from a dishwasher at his uncle’s restaurant to

owning his own restaurant, Joseph’s Italian Bistro. Along the way, his name became very familiar in Wilmington kitchens. The chef worked at The Bridge Tender in Wrightsville Beach for about 14 years and then opened Locals in Wilmington. When construction on a new marina in Southport started, he and his wife, Deb, opened The Village Market and Deli there. Then Borsuk decided to start a restaurant with a menu a little closer to his heart, Joseph’s Italian Bistro. «All of the sauces have always been made by just one person, which is myself. The clam sauces, the alfredo sauces, the marinara sauces, all that is done by one person,» he said. «And then we roast our own veal bones to make our own veal stock which makes a lot of the sauces.» The restaurant not only reflects Borsuk’s talents and dedication to fresh ingredients but it also has a homelike atmosphere that is very important to the chef.
