Description

This special anniversary episode of Ingredient Insiders celebrates 40 incredible years of Chef’s Warehouse! Hosts John and Andrea sit down with Chris and John Pappas, CEO and COO of Chef’s Warehouse, to reflect on the company’s journey from its humble beginnings as Dairyland to becoming a leading provider of specialty ingredients for top chefs across the country.

Chris and John share how a passion for food and a dedication to chefs fueled decades of growth, innovation, and expansion. They dive into how new technologies are shaping the future of foodservice, what’s next for Chef’s Warehouse—including expansion into new markets—and some of their favorite meals (and funniest moments) from the past four decades.
