October 26, 2023 Sysco Carolina's Protein Specialist, Chef Bryan Hudson
It's no longer "going to the dark side" when a chef works for the big distributor. Not when it's working for Sysco. Better hours, quality of life but also getting your 'proverbial' hands dirty by getting into kitchens with chefs all over town and helping where you can. Listen in to see what life's like as a protein specialist for the largest distributor in the world. We also get into Certified Angus Beef, cheesemaking, taco bell and why teenagers are posers.
