The 23-year-old has been at the helm of several Manhattan delis with his father Mike Elzarka since graduating from Fordham University in 2017.
Earlier this month, the pair opened BITE Food & Coffee Co. on Essex Street in Hackensack.
It's exactly where Elzarka wants to be.
"I like this business," the Ramapo High School grad said. "It's a lot of fun and rewarding. Challenging -- but it's a good time."
Elzarka came up with the menu and design through a combination of research and his own imagination.
The menu has something for everyone: Crispy chicken sandwiches, avocado mash, buffalo chicken pizza, tacos, fries and so much more.
The inside of the shop is aesthetic and relaxing with black and pink undertones throughout.
It's a sleek, industrial look. Aesthetic and relaxing.
Elzarka hopes BITE will become a place where people will come to get work done, hang out or just enjoy a good cup of coffee.
