Gabarelly’s Stockton celebration benefits Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation for Childhood Cancer

Gabarelly’s Stockton Steaks celebrated the second birthday of the business’ namesake, chef/owner Brian Held and Judith Francois’ daughter, Gabrielle, with $2 milkshakes and hot chocolates all day on Wednesday, March 9.
And “Gabby” decided that 100% of all of the money collected for milkshake and hot chocolate sales that day will be donated to the Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation for Childhood Cancer.

“The business name, Gabarelly, came from the classic Disney movie ‘Cinderella,’ when the mice sing ‘Cinderelly Cinderelly,’” said Francois. “Brian later changed the words to ‘Gabarelly Gabarelly’ when singing with Gabby, and loved saying it so much that he decided to use the nickname as the name of the new restaurant.
Gabarelly’s Stockton Steaks, 18 Bridge St., Stockton, N.J., opened in September 2021. It’s the third culinary venture in the area by Chef Held, who also owns Hamilton’s Grill Room and Brian’s in Lambertville, N.J.
