It's a classic episode of Right at the Fork, going back to November of 2015, and two conversations with Lisa Herlinger of Ruby Jewel Ice Cream.  So much has changed (a national roll-out + new NW location), so we thought it would be fun to look back this convo from 4 years ago.

We've got the sweet backstory of one of Portland's best food artisan startups-to-empire success story.  It's a double scoop-sized podcast of Ruby Jewel!
