Our Story
Diomidis and Theohare Kiourtsis emigrated from Greece to the USA in 1918. They settled in Portsmouth, Ohio and opened Frenchy's
Restaurant. Dad made the family recipe, Carmelized Peanuts, for patrons as they waited on their meal. They became so popular that
folks began asking to take some home. He continued making them in his retiring years for family and friends, and tutored his children
to take over the tradition. The recipe originated in Salonika, Greece and has spanned three generations. His unique process of
carmelization and slow roasting, preserves the original freshness and allows the flavor to explode when crunched. My Dadz Nutz was
founded to honor his memory. Enjoy!
