Our Story

DU Alums Mike Schettler (1983) and Ton Phairatphiboon (2001) merged Star Market and Stick-e-Rice (two DU area favorites) to create STICK-E-STAR!

Star Market has been a favorite stopping place since 1972 originally owned by the Zieglers.  Star Market and Catering was born 1988, when Michael Schettler bought Star Market from hi in-laws and expanded the catering.  Ton Phairatphiboon got his culinary arts experience from the World Famous Dusit Thani Hotel.

We give our customer Thai and American Fusion cooking with that Home-style flare we all know and love.  Our Carrot Cake is world famous among DU alumni and our Stick-e-Rice is matched by none other in the city as we are the only restaurant to still make it fresh daily.

Our goal is to provide you with not just a healthy meal, but on that is perfectly balanced and one that stimulates all your senses.  We cook everything from scratch with no MSG.  We use only Soybean Oil.  We use only high quality ingredients, our steaks are lean and trimmed Certified Angus Beef.  All of our other meats are all natural and we cook to order.  Welcome to the new era in dingin out where we can choose to have a much fuller, healthier and happier life.

"We don't try to do many things great.  We just try to do a few things that are excellent."

Feel free to make Stick-e-Star your home away from home and enjoy Mike and Ton's food and hospitality.  Our catering even gives you the opportunity to have our food at your home, special occasion, graduation, office or event!
