Dino CardelliGUEST
I've got the time.
Dino CardelliGUEST
And why now is because there's a generational gap going on in both juice and probably produce.
Dino CardelliGUEST
And we're talking about produce.com or producenowledge.com. Yeah.

And so from the
Dino CardelliGUEST
juice standpoint, there's an evolution happening.
John PaapHOST
And we'll get more to that particular oil a bit later because that's a flavor of what we're going to be doing today.
John PaapHOST
So welcome everyone to the History of Fresh Produce.
John PaapHOST
Today we are doing something a little different from our usual tracing of a produce item or a specific war or events and the like.
John PaapHOST
We're going to be doing a history of people who have been killed or who are said to have been killed by fruit and vegetables.
25 MINS LATER
John PaapHOST
Different famous people in history.
John PaapHOST
You can have the ancients in there, the more modern.
John PaapHOST
A good Christmas gift on the history of fresh produce.
John PaapHOST
I think
Shelly EllisGUEST
We we try to offer as much green food as we can.
Shelly EllisGUEST
We're so proud of our fresh produce.
Shelly EllisGUEST
That was something that took us a long time to get off the ground.
Shelly EllisGUEST
And we've been able to add that to the food for some of the food for kids bags.
Stephan ManningGUEST
Right.
Stephan ManningGUEST
So I didn't have to have that learning curve of understanding that while I have my broad liner and my produce and my seafood, that the broad liner is three companies, distinct places with I think it's 17 different DCs.
Stephan ManningGUEST
And then Produce is really nine separate companies, but all of it's managed by one company.
Stephan ManningGUEST
And that breaks out into understanding where my overlaps are and having that as my baseline of just common knowledge for me, and it makes it a lot simpler for me to run through.
Stephan ManningGUEST
The only caveat I have to that is that liquor, beer, wine vendors, very different animal, very complex, as we have to work our way through those vendors that I can send POs to, those ones that, well, for FinTech, it makes it a lot easier to import all the invoicing, so that part's not too hard, but the time that the invoice hits, the type of information that's on the invoice, right, because my restaurant team can get an invoice with items not on it, but FinTech has already charged it.
Sarah StoneburgGUEST
Um, we use a couple different companies for that, and we maintain a whole walk-in fridge with that produce for them.
Joy MatlockHOST
Mm.
Sarah StoneburgGUEST
So they get fresh produce just like they should be getting, just like I sometimes say they eat better than me.
Susan AltruiHOST
[laughs]
Joy MatlockHOST

Joy MatlockHOST
It's edible
Sarah StoneburgGUEST
