Indian River State College culinary students took a field trip to learn more about commercial food distribution centers and how they function as well as a few stops in West Palm Beach to see a small but very busy Mediterranean bakery & market and then a large international supermarket called The Mango Tree.
Special thanks to Tony the warehouse manager for taking us on a thorough tour from dry stock, cold and frozen foods and truck sanitation and pallet wrapping. Also great seeing the test kitchen and meeting Executive Corporate Chef Marco Pilloni who explained a lot about menu concept and remenuing services.
