I deal with Tabasco as a customer, I went out there and did a site visit to see where my trucks were going. Man was it a cool experience, it's also open to tours! All the Tabasco sauce in the world is produce in Avery Island. They have a park you can drive through with an alligator pond, haha super cool, worth a visit! Oh yeah, keep buying Tabasco!

I love how the title is "14 Entrepreneurs Who Built Food Empires" when the actual truth is that for many, it was no single entrepreneur who built them but rather generations of family. I am not disparaging any of these folks achievements but the truth is it is easier to succeed when born into the right circumstances and those born into farming, business or political families will always have an advantage over the average person. Very often through hard work as kids being committed and dedicated to the family business but equally as often it is "not what you know but who you know".

When I was growing up there was a bakery the next town over. The German woman who ran it made the best pumpernickel bread as well as cheesecake that was nothing like what they crank out today. I think she might have used mascarpone instead of cream cheese. It wasn’t as sweet as cream cheese and it was amazing. She made cherry, blueberry and pineapple. The filling was on the bottom and I don’t think she used graham cracker crust either. Not positive what she used but when daddy brought one home, along with her pecan sticky buns! Wow! The best treat was to grab the end of the pumpernickel bread, slather it with butter and you had a serious treat! YUM and double YUM!!

I used to work as an electrician some years ago, I have to say it was very common for small businesses in older buildings to have two or sometimes more meters. One meter was for the domestics ( 120: volt needs like lighting and receptacles. Most of these businesses also had a second meter for their 3 phase loads, air conditioning and refrigeration equipment. It wasn’t until the 1970s that new buildings began to have their own indoor transformers to provide all their power needs from a single meter.

When I was first stationed near Jax, FL there was a great steakhouse called the Tree Steakhouse in the Arlington area that had been there for 50 years. It was the best steakhouse around. They had fantastic dry aged steaks like in this video. It was a small restaurant. They would bring out the roll of Rye-eye steaks on a card, you would tell the server how thick that you wanted your steak and how seasoned-cooked. The Arlington area of the city started to go down hill in the late 80's and they moved. Only it was not as good and they did not last. I have much respect for people working in the food business. It is hard long work. Shalom

@dthomas9230 10 ай бұрын

It's also a service business. The service industry is not given the respect it deserves as a major cog in an industrial capitalist society. Every cook, bottle washer, waiter, busboy, bartender, packager, and deliveryman makes life an adventure for all to enjoy. Democratic capitalists in Europe are the same, and many refugees do well. Many family businesses have been bought out or visited with offspring from the elite colleges to seek short-term gain with no capital value assigned to legacy, or brand protection.

If you ever need somebody who was part of us tobacco throughout the 1990s, I am happy to answer questions or help fill in blanks. I have a great story about being involved in the 1.6 billion lawsuit of conwood company versus US tobacco as I was called as a witness and one of my ex-employees was also called as a witness for the plaintiffs.
