The story starts when his son, Nico who is also a business owner asked him if he wants to cook some crabs. According to Edgardo Cruz, his son wants to eat it because during pandemic, ordering online takes 10 days to received. It is because of the demands or long line of orders.
Because of that, his son had an idea to market Edd’s crab dish and turn it into a business. However, that time he did want to run another business because of what he experiences in his last business. Chef Edd went through bankruptcy that made him lost all his savings that he invested for 32 years.
This became one of his darkest days as he became depressed for almost a year. But everyone has their own time. With the help of his son, he starts with a 10,000 pesos capital and cooked 5 kilos of crabs in a clean garbage bag in box. This is where Crab2Go starts to grow.
