Before there was Così, there was Drew Harré. At 17 he left West Aukland, New Zealand in search of the perfect sandwich. He was inspired by a friend who said to him one day “All I ever hear from you is that you can’t find a decent sandwich in Paris. So what are you going to do about it?” And so, the quest for the perfect sandwich began.

As Così has served millions of guests every year, we continue to look forward to new chapters to add to our lore. And new traditions to celebrate with our guests. We hope the spirit of Drew Harré's vision and his inspirational influence that brought Così to the U.S. will always be evident in everything we do.
