Deborah Stanton
Founder / Creator, Eco-Licious Pet Food
Deborah Stanton enlisted in the U.S. Army at age 17, with a desire to attend medical school. After an honorable discharge and a stint in clinical research, Stanton felt a lack of creativity in her life so she took to the kitchen. She says, “I found the Culinary Arts a great venue because it was the perfect symbiosis of my two passions, science and creativity.” As both a celebrated chef and former restaurant owner, Stanton spent years providing fresh foods for her fellow humans. While serving her creations to friends and customers, she often wondered about the nutritional needs of their animal companions. Stanton’s curiosity combined with her industrious nature and her self-described “insatiable need to feed,” led her to create Eco-Licious Pet food for cats and dogs, made from local, organic food. Stanton has also recently launched Fab Füd (F(ood) U(nique) to D(eborah)) by Deborah, an alternative to restaurant dining, wherein Stanton “creates ünique themes & menus to be enjoyed by all 5 senses.” – CB
