Most days in the kitchen, Annie Henry is a one-woman show. Working out of a commissary prep space on Chenango Street, the Middle Sister Sandwiches co-owner grocery shops, cooks, cleans, coordinates order pickups and makes deliveries to hungry, appreciative customers around the area.
But sheâs not really alone. Her sister, partner and creative mastermind, Jacque Henry (pronounced âJackieâ), is equally, if differently, invested. A full-time oncology nurse at Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center, Jacque simply canât be in the kitchen with Annie most shifts (though she is when she can). But it was Jacque who came up with the idea for the business, aimed at making global food less intimidating to westernized palates, and it was Jacque who jumped at the opportunity to get the fledgling business up and running.
