In the 1970s, the Saleh family (mother, Cecelia, and sons Sam,
Joe, Mounir and DeGaulle) left war-torn Lebanon for a better life and the
opportunities that the United States could provide. They searched around the Raleigh,
N.C., area, but could find nothing resembling the bread they gathered around
the table to eat at home. So, with a converted pizza oven, a rental space in a
strip mall, help from an uncle, and a pita recipe that had been passed down through
generations, Neomonde Baking Company was born.
