Ryan Miller & Presh Cox

They met at Buffalo Wild Wings, built a friendship rooted in a shared love of food and hospitality, and eventually bet on each other to build something of their own. Their Graze Craze locations in Southern California are part business venture, part ongoing adventure, and entirely a reflection of who they are.

Chris & Stephanie Stout

Murrieta, California

After nearly 11 years in the U.S. Navy and a career in manufacturing sales, Chris Stout wasn’t looking to open a charcuterie franchise. But when a sudden contract loss forced him to rethink everything, he and his wife Stephanie started looking for something they could build together, something that was theirs. What they found in Graze Craze was more than a business. It was a way back into their community, a new kind of partnership, and a reminder that the security they’d been chasing was something they could create themselves.
