What is GUP?
GUP, stands for Ground Up and is a concept of food and way of making it. GUP’s namesake comes from the idea that you should know where your food comes from; “literally from the ground up.” It also implies the reality that, everything you will eat is seasoned with hand-ground and custom-blended spices and sauces. Chef and Co-Owner, Erik Hustad studied Culinary Arts at The Art Institute of Seattle and came back to start GUP with cousin and co-owner, Gabriel Lovelace. GUP has helped to revolutionize the culinary scene in Lincoln, Nebraska.
