Crazy Dave to the rescue

Met with Dave this morning at a local foodstore.  He had a concern about the updated recipe breakdown of ingredients created by our new co-packer.  We worked it out in no time--and will ask the R&D guy there (hairnet guy) to confirm and/or revise as necessary.   When the meeting was over, I was going to ask Dave how to pronounce his partner's last name--just for fun. But didn't.   Tomorrow is a good bet that we'll get our new and improved prices.  Tonight we pray.

IF the prices are good and translate to a good retail price point, our next step will be to move ahead and produce a 3 gallon batch of each sauce. This test will firm up what each sauce will actually taste like when made in larger production batches. This is where we have to finesse the recipes to make sure they taste fabulous.  

This is it. We either love 'em or blow our brains out.   It's crunch time.  Pass the Immodium time.   

LESSON: WHAT YOU MAKE IN YOUR KITCHEN AT HOME AINT GONNA TASTE THE SAME AS SOMETHING COOKED IN A HUGE 100 GALLON KETTLE.   THE TRICKY PART IS GETTING IT AS CLOSE AS POSSIBLE.

Stay tuned:
