What's Good Dough? Pizza

The Story Of The Cheesehog with Scott Fahey


Listen Later

In today’s episode, we’re talking to Scott, who is the second-generation owner of a cheese-shredding manufacturing company that’s made waves in the world of pizza (and any other business that shreds cheese).


We’ll also dive into the nitty-gritty of what makes this shredder different from all the others, how they navigated the unexpected challenges of the COVID era, and much more.


Highlights:

  • Scott talks about how his father’s frustration with shredding cheese by hand led him to create a machine that could do the job faster, better, and more efficiently. This wasn’t just about innovation for its own sake, but about solving a real problem in the kitchen.

  • So many cheese shredders out there look similar, but Scott explains what makes their machine truly unique. From the design to the motor to the overall experience, we hear exactly why their shredder is a cut above the rest.

  • He explains how they worked hard to find that sweet spot, making sure the machine is accessible for both big and small businesses without compromising on quality.

  • Like many businesses, Scott’s family had to adapt during the pandemic. He shares the challenges they faced in keeping the business going.

  • Scott shares how his father reflects on what it took to make a product that people love. It wasn’t just about making a good shredder—it was about creating something that would stand the test of time.
