Barber Foods (www.barberfoods.com) has been creating uniquely satisfying stuffed chicken entrees for more than 50 years.

Their history

In 1955, Gus Barber started out with one employee, a sharp butcher knife and an old truck. From a humble 1,000 square foot facility, Gus worked hard to deliver high quality boned beef to restaurants and markets in Portland, Maine.

Growing to meet demand

When a local grocer wanted to sell cut-up chicken but was short on labor, Gus saw an opportunity. This move proved so successful Gus changed the company name to Barber Beef & Poultry.

Cooking up new ideas

As the competition turned boned beef and cut chicken into commodity items, Barber responded with innovative customer-pleasing products. In 1965, they introduced portion-controlled chicken breasts and chicken nuggets. They also became the first company to offer stuffed chicken entrees like Chicken Cordon Bleu and Chicken Kiev.

Still in the family

While Gus passed away in 2008, Barber Foods maintains the principles and values upon which the business was built. From humble beginnings, Barber Foods has grown to an operation with 670 associates from around 51 different nations – working in a state-of-the-art 150,000+ square foot production facility in Portland, Maine. Together, they are proud to develop and deliver great tasting products that are real people pleasers.

My Take on Their Food

I had never tried Barber Foods in the past, but as I have said before, I am always willing to try out something new.  When I received my Rescue kit I was intrigued and interested to see what it would taste like as I was impressed with the wide variety of foods that Barber provided.  I had a little trouble finding the product around me at first, but once I did I grabbed a few packages and was excited to see what they would taste like and how my family would enjoy them.

I found that the products themselves were very easy to prepare and pretty much any side dish seemed to work well with the Chicken dishes. We tried a few varieties but the families favorite thus far seems to be the Chicken Cordon Bleu. Everyone in the family stated that the chicken was very flavorful and I can say that as a dad, I enjoyed how quick it was to make dinner.

I was very impressed and I will say that Barber Foods did help rescue my family’s dinner and I know that they can do the same for you too!
