Molly Healey and Charlie Gilhuly bring Little Dumpling House to Westport, featuring Asian-inspired food-to-go. Run in the same kitchen as Grammie’s Donuts & Biscuits, Little Dumpling House is a ghost kitchen where you can pick up hand-crafted food to bring home, or maybe to Compo Beach for an evening picnic.
Molly Healey has been a chef for almost 10 years and owned a catering company for some time. After opening Grammie’s Donuts & Biscuits with her partner, Charlie Gilhuly, the pair decided to open up another restaurant using the same kitchen space in the evening. They found that there weren’t a lot of good takeout restaurants anymore, so they “wanted to make something that people could pick up and take home to enjoy.”
Almost immediately, the kitchen picked up momentum, and they’ve gotten amazing feedback. Some customer favorites include dumplings (shumai, potstickers, and rangoon), crispy duck buns, and chicken katsu.
To order, check out the Little Dumpling House’s website.
