HORSEHEADS, N.Y. (WENY)-- A new restaurant in Horseheads has been trending on social media since it opened two weeks ago.

Zaddy's at 3139, Lake Street had its grand opening on December 6th. The new business offers everything from burgers, wings, cheesesteaks, and a variety of eats. 

The owner Zachary Labar grew up in the area and has always had a love for cooking. He had dreams of opening a local restaurant and wanted to spread that love to the community.

Labar began planning and was going to start a food truck business. However, a space became available in Horseheads and he had a change of heart and decided to take a leap of faith and made his dream of becoming a restaurant owner a reality. 

"A lot of people that I'm friends with and family told me I've been very good at cooking. So I just kind of decided well, maybe this is the route I'm going to take. I've always wanted to open up my own business and I just kind of jumped into it," Labar said.

Labar is grateful for the community support and says he has received great feedback from customers. It hasn't been easy getting to where he is today. It took a lot of planning, research, and learning about how to run a business. 

"It's unreal, sometimes I catch myself while I'm driving home. This is really what I'm doing. Wow, it's kind of crazy," Labar said.

Labar will have a free event with Santa on Thursday, December 22nd. The public is invited to attend.
