About Us
Our Story
The Meyers family founded High Flying Foods because a love and passion for food was ingrained in their family heritage. Using recipes handed down within the family for generations, they opened their first nationally acclaimed Firewood Café in San Francisco. Firewood Café proved to be so popular that the Meyers were invited to bring their concept to San Francisco International Airport in 2000.
Fast forward to today, and the High Flying Foods family has grown to nearly 500 employees and 40 locations in 5 major international airports throughout the United States, with founder Glenn Meyers still at the helm. As a father, brother, and son, he recognizes the importance of a support system and has instilled those family values in the company.
In 2021 and 2022, Glenn’s sons Zac and Colton joined the team, ushering in the next generation at HFF. While maintaining the family values central to the company ethos, Zac and Colton also bring a fresh perspective to High Flying Foods that will push the company forward and inspire the team to continually innovate, evolve, and excel.
