This week's onion-inspired foodie fact asks "What was the fastest recorded time to peel 50 pounds of onions?" The answer in this episode! We've added 9 items to our inventory this week covering new products as well as some seasonal favorites that are now back in stock! This week's additions include a new specialty Mandarin Orange Sesame Ginger dressing. Frozen chicken leg quarters that have been ice glazed to maximize freshness. An expertly smoked pre-sliced turkey breast. 4 bakery-fresh items; a hearth baked bulkie roll, a potato burger roll, a country style burger roll, and a soft bulkie roll. In for the season in seafood; premium crab meat and our extremely popular fresh “tail-claw-knuckle” lobster meat. In this week's episode we revisit the conversation on dressing-up your dishes for extra appeal.
