George Pavel rolls out Pa Sou Foods

Man cannot live on egg rolls alone And neither can Pa Sou Foods, Inc. As the small food processor approaches three years in Syracuse, it’s phasing out its Chinese Chef trademark in favor of the less ethnic company name. Founded on eggs rolls, the company now also produces non-Chinese frozen cuisine for grocery stores, restaurants, catering companies and convenience stores.

“That’s our big market,'' said founder George Pavel, who runs the plant with partner Anne Burns. No signs mark the small building to tell passers-by what goes on inside. Just a small U.S. Department of Agriculture seal stuck on the window identifies the plant, which employs six. “It took us nine months to receive the federal permits . . . We didn’t realize all the red tap involved," recalled Pavel. The USDA seal labels all their products and it means the owners could distribute their hand-made frozen foods across the country, if they wanted. Therein lies a conflict between the partners. Burns wants to get

bigger; Pavel doesn’t. Burns concedes she’d like the plant enlarged so that some of the products could be made by machines instead of by hand. Pavel holds the opposite view. “I would like to remain small; I don’t want to work that hard," he explained. Already the Syracuse company sells its egg rolls, won tons and bacon roll ups in Michigan and Ohio, in addition to local stores. Pavel and Burns are used to serving Kosciusko Country residents. Pavel has owned the Barbee Hotel Restaurant and Lounge at Big Barbee Lake for 30 years and Burns, from North Webster, tended bar there for eight. Furthermore, the restaurant business seems to run in both their families. Burnses husband Ronald has been cooking for nearly 40 years; he works at the Shrimp Boat in Syracuse. And Pavel’s kids have gotten in on Dad’s act. His 26-year-old daughter Michele helps out at the food processing plant. Pavel started up Pa Sou Foods after serving Chinese food at the Barbee Hotel for about two years. “I was familiar with the food end of it, and as far as calling on people, I enjoy that,” noted the 53-year-old. These days Pavel is calling on officials at Goshen College and Wawasee Community Schools to see if they’d serve his products. “We re trying to go with food service,” he explained, instead of grocery and convenience stores. From soy sauce to salsa, the company is breaking new ground with taco sticks. “As far as we know no one in the Midwest has anything like it,” reported Pavel. It’s ground beef, taco seasoning and cheddar cheese in a light wrapper. Pavel said he likes them. Abd Kosciusko County residents do too.
