I agree with robert that sysco is not the best food purveyor on the planet. When I was
a kitchen manager and food buyer I would use Sysco as a last resort. I never got on
with their sales reps well and found food quality and service was much better from the
two local companies I used. Not to mention the local companies had food shows and
Sysco did not (Food shows= lots of free stuff and great eats).
As a grower I do not do wholesale as I make more selling direct to the public through
Farmer's markets and more and more through our CSA. But if you are going that route do
check out the local food purveyors, Every metro area over 1 million pop should have 2
or 3 local companies. Ask the chefs you deal with who they use and get the contact
info from them.
