Karim El-Gamal (right) and Michael Kasseris (left), both MBA’11, are founders and owners of The Rail Trail Flatbread Co., a restaurant in Hudson, Mass. Karim emails, “In September, then-Governor Deval Patrick (center) toured our restaurant. The visit was part of a series of visits to successful businesses to explore ways to encourage economic development outside Boston. He had fun cooking in our wood-fired oven, which gives diners an unobstructed view of our flatbread (pizza) baking process. For those who haven’t visited, our menu features comfort-food favorites done with a twist and awardwinning beers and craft cocktails.”
