HISTORY

Fine Catering by Russell Morin is a proud part of a Morin’s Diners Inc. – a family owned business since 1911. The current generations grandfather J.B. Morin started the business as a 24 seat diner located in front of a four story jewelry manufacturing company in Attleboro, Massachusetts. The family had to pitch in even then as Mrs. Morin cooked entrees and baked pies at their home 2 blocks away to be brought to the diner fresh daily.

Oddly enough, the Morin family’s first ventures into catering came at this small diner. The jewelry workers in the factory above would lower pails down their windows with their lunch order for it to be filled and pulled back up. Folklore has it the term “lunch-pail” origin coincided with the Morin family’s entry into the catering business.

The popularity of the diner led to the opening of another in the early 30’s and in the 40’s upon his return from overseas Ralph R. Morin expanded the diner into off-premise catering as well. The business continued to grow and Ralph expanded his kitchens through the purchase of a nearby building. This expanded kitchen and the contribution of the current owners, R. Russell Morin and William Morin, made taking control of the food-service at three local country-clubs possible. It was during this time Russell and William developed their passion for the business that led each of them to the Cornell University Hotel School and back to help further and carry on their family’s legacy.

What started humbly as a small diner in 1911 offering Chicken Pie and Banana Fritters is proudly in it’s 4th generation with revered offerings such as Lobster Crusted Halibut with Lemon buerre blanc one item on a never ending list of creative salad, entrées and dessert offerings.
